Provide free bussing to all students, Kindergarten to 12th grade

 

the purpose of this bill is to allow all students safe transportation to and from school without having money as an

issue.

 

 

this bill is needed because a lot of families may not be able to keep up with the increasing bus prices. This can lead

to unsafe conditions as students may have to cross busy roads or walk through unsafe weather conditions.

 

unsafe - a condition where a person may be put in danger or harm. Transportation - getting from one place to another

using a motorized vehicle. Allocation - the process of distributing or assigning something, such as money.

 

The cost of providing free bussing for all K–12 students will be covered through an annual allocation from the state

education budget. Funds currently used for transportation subsidies will be redirected to ensure all students have

access to free school transportation without additional cost to families.

 

 

the penalties for not cooperating with this bill would be a monthly tax on the bussing company. The amount they would

have to pay would be determined based on the number of students that signed up for the bus.

 

 

the effective date for this bill would be the start of the 2026-2027 school year. This will give the school and bussing

companies enough time to prepare for the change. Yet not too long where people have to pay more for the bus.
