A. Each LEA should have a plan for annually evaluating its student transportation operation. There are several criteria which can be applied to obtain some estimates of the operation's effectiveness. These criteria relate to such factors as safety, efficiency and economy.

B. Safety criteria should include, but is not limited to:

1. injuries to students, the driver and other highway users;

2. frequency and severity of property damage accidents in which buses are involved;

3. frequency and severity of moving traffic violations for which drivers are cited;

4. frequency and nature of complaints from parents, the motoring public, school administrators and students;

5. frequency and nature of vehicle breakdowns, road failures and other emergency situations involving buses; and

6. hazardous situations on bus routes.

C. Efficiency and economy criteria includes, but is not limited to:

1. bus route operation within the framework of established school hours;

2. minimizing the actual time students are on the bus;

3. routes designed to achieve maximum utilization (i.e., full capacity within reason), and elimination of unnecessary mileage and duplication; and

4. annual review of all routes and routing procedures, including stop-times.

D. The LEA school transportation evaluation program must provide for periodic evaluation of progress along predetermined time schedules and a point-by-point comparison of the system's present program with state policies and standards to identify deficiencies
