Understanding transportation costs and how they compare with other district costs is essential in evaluating efficiency and provides a foundation for analysis of how districts provide service.

MSBO is once again conducting a Student Transportation Benchmarking Survey. It has been enhanced and redesigned to increase the amount of meaningful information made available, while making data entry easier.

Survey response has been slow thus far, and MSBO is requesting maximum participation in order to ensure good, useful data.

This is an online survey, but the form can be printed off in advance and used to compile the information prior to entering the data online. Print off the survey.

The link below leads to the survey. It should take less than an hour to complete. All results will be published in comparison groups, but no individual district information will be released. This survey will be open through Friday, July 3, 2009.

Take the survey

MSBO is working with Management Partnership Services (MPS) to conduct this survey. Any questions should be directed to Tim Ammon at 888.518.3377 x702, or tammon@mpsconsultant.com.
