Key Findings
Recommendations
• Since Minnesota’s constitution guarantees education and state law guarantees school
transportation, the state must properly invest in all aspects of education, including
transportation. This will lessen the need to divert transportation dollars to cover overall state
underfunding of schools.
• Policy should be changed to take transportation funds out of each district’s general operating
budget and into a special categorical fund, while still giving districts the flexibility to apply to
the Minnesota Department of Education to transfer transportation funds in times of crisis.
• It’s fundamentally important that the state adequately fund transportation so districts can
provide students with a safe trip to and from school.
• Minnesota should change the current transportation funding formula, which is based on
enrollment, to a more effective system based on miles traveled and student usage.
• Better overall funding will eliminate the need for four-day school weeks and cuts in after
school transportation to fill budget and transportation gaps.
Minnesota’s students and their parents deserve a more adequate, accountable transportation
funding system with better oversight to ensure a safe and timely ride to and from school.
Disinvestment in education has touched every aspect of school budgets, including transportation.
Through a combination of major state cuts in school funding and an inadequate transportation
revenue formula, many Minnesota schools have been forced to fund transportation by taking
money away from other areas of education. Conversely, some schools use transportation money to
plug gaps in other parts of the budget.
While the state calculates at least a 4.8 percent base budget specifically for getting students to
and from school, transportation aid is wrapped into the general operating budget which makes it
an easy source from which to transfer funds. Such funding shifts have resulted in decisions that
undermine the quality of education and, in severe circumstances, can jeopardize safely transporting
our children.
Overall state education cuts have forced local school leaders to find
new revenue streams to continue offering a quality education for students. Since 2003, 95 percent
of all districts have opted for levy referenda just to fund basic operating expenses which the state is
not providing.
When it comes to transportation funding, school districts are required to provide transportation
for secondary-level students who live two miles or more from their school and elementary-level
students who live one mile or more from their school, whether they are enrolled in public, private
or charter schools. For greater safety, many districts often provide transportation to students within
these boundaries who would otherwise have to cross busy roads on the way to school. Districts
often provide after-school busing because participation in extracurricular activities is proven to
improve students’ academic and social abilities and curb the dropout rate.
But that’s where transportation similarities between Minnesota’s 336 school districts end. These
basic safety, distance and academic considerations play out differently in every district.
Urban districts’ higher population density requires more buses, maintenance and drivers. Safety is
a problem when picking up or dropping off students along even moderately busy streets.
The transportation funding formula is complicated and experts disagree about almost every
variable in the equation. In an effort to equalize funding for rural districts, the state devised a
transportation sparsity index to account for distance and fuel costs, but even the smallest, densest
urban districts qualify for this aid. The state also calculates transportation revenue based on a
weighted number of students attending the school district, not the number of students who use
transportation or the number of miles driven. This funding mechanism tends to leave schools
in densely populated areas with a transportation surplus and those in more sparse areas with a
transportation deficit.
Some districts have increased the radius around which they will transport students. While state
law requires a two-mile radius around secondary schools and a one-mile radius around elementary
schools, many districts keep safety in mind for younger students and provide busing closer to
the school. It’s a good practice that some districts are forced to abandon because of inadequate
transportation funding. This is not only a transportation problem for many parents who now have
to deliver their children to the school door, but is a safety issue for students who have to cross a
highway or busy street.
Some districts have sold their bus fleets, opting instead to contract with an outside busing provider.
This offers short-term savings because the bidding process allows for a competitive first contract
and often the contractor will buy the district’s rolling stock, which adds a one-time boost to the
district’s general operating fund. If the next round of bidding remains competitive, the district
can continue to benefit; if there are fewer contractors, the district will find itself in a terrible
financial bind. In addition, bus drivers rarely benefit when a district switches to a contractor-run
fleet — fewer drivers are hired and they typically take a pay cut. Benefits, if they are offered, are also
slashed.
Even though it is well documented that extracurricular activities create community, a sense of
belonging and ownership among students to their schools, and after school sports and activities
increase academic performance and decrease dropout rates, many schools are ending afterschool
busing or raising the fees for the service.
All parents will find safety
Some parents might find providing transportation to school compromised when
an inconvenience. Others find it difficult because of work students spend less time on
schedules. But all parents will find safety compromised when a bus and more in the car
students spend less time on a bus and more in the car or or walking to school.
walking to school. Riding on a school bus is one of the safest
forms of travel. Nationally, about 75 percent of deaths and 84 percent of injuries resulting from
crashes during normal school travel hours occurred in two passenger vehicle categories; 22 percent
of fatalities and 11 percent of injuries occurred to student bicyclists and pedestrians during school
hours, while only 2 percent of deaths and 4 percent of injuries occurred on school buses.
It is intolerable that state lawmakers have forced districts into these positions. Safe access to school
should not be a negotiating point. The state needs to develop a funding formula that accurately
provides the amount needed to transport students to and from schools.
School districts are required by state law to provide transportation to and from school for all
public, charter and non-public students in secondary school who live two miles or more away
from school, and elementary students who live one mile or more away from school. Under certain
circumstances, the district is also required to provide transportation for disabled children and open
enrollment students. School boards have sole management over scheduling of routes, location of
bus stops, method of transportation and control and discipline of school children. i
In 1997, the state legislature agreed to move transportation funding from a school’s categorical
transportation expense fund and into each school’s general operating fund, where it could be
included with most other district expenses. State budget shortfalls and inconsistent funding have
exposed the problems with shifting transportation from a dedicated source of funds to a more fluid
line item.

transportation sparsity along with formulas for non-public
student transportation revenue. Beginning in 1999, special programs transportation funding was
rolled into the special education formula and desegregation transportation funding was rolled into
integration revenue formula. ii
School districts can charge transportation fees for students living within two miles of the school,
transportation to extracurricular activities where attendance is optional, and transportation to
postsecondary institutions for students enrolled under the postsecondary enrollment options. A
district may waive any fee if a student or parent is unable to pay it. Districts can’t charge for field
trips which are required as a part of a basic education program or course. iii
School districts are required to transport charter school students who live within their boundaries
provided the charter school students live an eligible distance from the charter schools. If charter
schools choose district-provided transportation, the districts will receive the transportation portion
of the charter schools’ general education basic revenue. If charter schools decide to provide their
own transportation, students living two miles or more from the charter school must be offered
transportation services by the district. iv
The formula for determining how much revenue the state provides for school transportation is
determined by multiplying three figures: the district’s basic per pupil revenue amount determined
by the state legislature; the adjusted marginal cost pupil unit;
and 4.85 percent, which is determined to be transportation’s When adjusted for inflation,
portion of each district’s general fund. the 2009 per pupil revenue
amount is only $3,903 in
The first hurdle is that state lawmakers don’t index basic 2003 dollars, a 14 percent
per pupil revenue to inflation. This is the minimum amount drop in funding
every district receives per pupil for overall education
expenses. As a result, per pupil revenue has not met inflationary stresses since 2003. From ‘03 to ‘05,
legislature set per pupil basic revenue at $4,601. In 2006, it rose to $4,783, in 2007 to $4,974, in 2008
to $5,074 and in 2009 to $5,124, where it remains.
When adjusted for inflation, the 2009 per pupil revenue amount is only $3,903 in 2003 dollars, a 14
percent drop in funding that the state’s Price of Government Report projects will drop to 15 percent
in the coming years.
In addition, the state determines transportation revenue using the “adjusted marginal cost
pupil unit,” under which students are weighted by the amount they use the school system:
Kindergartners equal .612 students, students in grades 1-3 weigh 1.115 students, those in grades
4-6 weigh 1.06 and secondary students weigh 1.3 students. Once students are counted and the
number open enrolling or attending charter or private schools is subtracted, this weight is applied
to determine the “adjusted pupil units.” To help districts that are adjusting to declining enrollment,
the “adjusted marginal cost pupil unit” is determined by using either the greater of its current
year adjusted pupil units or the sum of 77 percent of its current year’s adjusted pupil units plus 23
percent of the previous year’s adjusted pupil units. vi

Critics argue this funding formula favors those districts that have large student populations living
in close proximity to their schools. They say districts get the money for students they don’t have to
transport and are free to use these transportation funds elsewhere in their budget.
The 1997 transportation sparsity revenue formula was intended to correct this by giving more
money to large, sparsely populated districts. The formula is based on the ACMPU as well as the
district’s square mileage. vii
Critics argue that fix did little to correct the issue. It still doesn’t meet the needs of rural districts
and most densely populated metropolitan districts qualify for at least some transportation
sparsity revenue. Since this revenue is part of the district’s general operating fund, it’s not used for
transportation but becomes part of the district’s regular revenue stream. viii
Some districts have shifted transportation funding to other education needs by instituting a
four-day school week. By closing school one day each week, districts believe they can reduce
transportation expenditures up to 20 percent. These districts typically travel many bus miles yet
have a relatively small overall budget, therefore the savings can be a large part of their budget. In
2008, MACCRAY became the first recent Minnesota district to start a four-day week, followed last
year by Blackduck, Warroad and Ogilvie. St. James started a four-day week last winter. Clearbrook-
Gonvick, Onamia, North Branch, Pelican Rapids, Lake Superior and A.C.G.C. will start next fall.

The four-day week was used to save money during the 1980s, although all Minnesota schools that
experimented with the schedule reverted to a regular school week after several years. The practice
hung on in some rural districts in Wyoming, South Dakota and Louisiana, and districts in states
such as Kentucky and West Virginia have recently moved to four-day weeks to save money.
After examining the four-day week, several Minnesota districts have rejected the idea citing
insufficient savings or lack of academic rigor. Crookston, Norman County East, Rush City, Yellow
Medicine East, Le Sueur-Henderson and Southland all considered and rejected the four-day week.
Many districts will offer transportation for fewer students by lengthening the radius around the
schools in which they will offer busing. While statistical information about how many districts
have done this or are considering this are unavailable, anecdotal information shows that many
districts — especially those in densely populated areas — can realize significant savings by pushing
the costs of transporting students to school back onto parents.
“Seven or eight years ago, (Owatonna Public Schools) moved the busing borders for secondary
(grades 7 to 12) from one mile to two miles away from school. It was a financially driven decision.
We save about $300,000 per year, which is about 1 percent of our total budget,” said Tom Sager,
Director of Finance and Operations, Owatonna Public Schools.
Minnesota 2020 examined state records to see which districts were given the most in transportation
funding and which were given the least.
As previously explained, transportation funds are determined by the weighted number of students,
a transportation sparsity component and charter transportation funding. This method of funding is
tremendously unfair to districts, giving some hundreds of thousands of dollars extra that they can
funnel to other needs. Most importantly, underfunding other districts forces them to remove money
from other educational needs to fund transportation.
Those with the biggest funding disadvantages tend to be rural or exurban districts that cover many
square miles, thus making it impossible to expand the radius of service around schools to cut costs.

Urban and large districts tend to wind up with extra transportation funding because more students
can walk to school and bus routes are compact. Schools typically use the additional revenue to plug
other budget holes. Here are the districts with the biggest transportation surpluses: x

The state’s transportation mandate requires school districts to provide transportation to and from
school for any secondary student who lives two miles or more from school and elementary student
who lives one mile or more away from school. A district also is required to provide transportation
for nonpublic students, disabled children, nonresident open enrollment students, and resident
students attending a charter school that is located within the district if the charter school has
declined to provide transportation services to its students. xi
Many school districts cite safety factors among their reasons to offer transportation within the
radius required by state law. However, under pressure of declining budgets, some districts will
expand that radius and require parents to find their own transportation or rely on their children to
either walk, bike or drive to school.

concern for the younger students,” Sager said. school when they live more
than one mile away.”
School bus travel is one of the safest forms of travel.
Nationally, school bus service accounts for approximately 25 percent of trips and 28 percent of
student-miles traveled during normal school travel hours. Passenger vehicles (with adult and teen
drivers) represent 60 percent of trips and 66 percent of student-miles traveled. Student pedestrian
travel accounts for 12 percent of trips and 1 percent of student miles. About 75 percent of deaths
and 84 percent of injuries resulting from crashes during normal school travel hours occurred in
two passenger vehicle categories, while only 2 percent of deaths and 4 percent of injuries occurred
on school buses. Fatalities and injuries to student bicyclists and pedestrians involved in crashes
represent the next-largest share — 22 percent and 11 percent, respectively. xii
In Minnesota, 2009 saw 670 school bus crashes, a 2 percent increase from the prior year. There were
four deaths: One was a child hit by the bus after exiting; one was an elderly pedestrian hit by a bus
while in a crosswalk; two were drivers of other vehicles that were struck while failing to yield at
intersections. Nearly two out of three crashes and injuries occurred between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., and
between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. xiii
While it’s difficult to determine how many bicycle-related and pedestrian-related deaths and
injuries come from students heading to and from school, 32 percent of all weekday bicycle crashes
occurred from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and of the 963 bicyclists injured, 54 percent were 24 years of age or
younger. xiv
Meanwhile, people less than 25 years of age accounted for 22 percent of the pedestrians killed and
39 percent of pedestrians injured. Males accounted for 56 percent of all pedestrian fatalities. Three
out of ten pedestrian crashes occurred Monday through Friday between 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
to 6 p.m. xv
There is anecdotal information conducted by researchers that shows families reported concerns
about the length of rides and the loss of sleep due to early pick-ups. xvii Another reported a small
but statistically significant negative relationship between distance traveled on buses and school
achievement. xviii
Minnesota’s school funding system is abhorrent. Students are not getting the money from the state
they need to receive an education. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the desperate decisions
made by school officials to find money to keep their schools running.
School transportation is a matter of state law. Districts must provide it. Yet the funds they receive
for transportation can be siphoned off to other areas, leaving a poor atmosphere for transportation
that includes four day school weeks, larger transportation zones, no after school activity buses or
other decisions.

scrapped for a more effective system based on miles
traveled and student usage.
In addition, transportation funds should be put back into a categorical fund and allowed to cross
over into other funding areas only as a last resort and then with oversight from the Minnesota
Department of Education.
Minnesota’s students deserve the confidence that they will be able to get to and from school in a
safe, timely and efficient manner.
