TRANSPORTATION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Who is the idiot that recommended this? Dennis (please don’t give my last name) What if I feel that my house is more than 2 miles from the school? The walking distance was estimated by the computer. We will be happy to actually drive the walking route if requested. What other options do I have? Before school day care facilities that provide transportation services. Neighborhood car pools. Private shuttle services. Who is responsible for the crossing guards? The individual cities Why doesn’t NISD charge for transportation like Keller? The two mile eligibility change is something that Keller ISD as well as all surrounding Districts have practiced for many years. Next year Keller ISD has decided to eliminate all regular education transportation. The “Pay-To-Ride” program is their attempt to provide transportation services to those that are able and willing to pay. Can students who are not eligible for transportation walk to a bus stop that is outside the two mile area? No. The savings that have been identified have resulted from the reduction in the number of buses. Allowing ineligible students to walk to a bus stop will overload buses and require the addition of routes.
