Which group is responsible for mapping bus routes?

The responsibility for mapping bus routes falls to district transportation personnel because they have the expertise and resources to ensure that routes are efficient, safe, and effective for transporting students. Their knowledge of local geography, traffic patterns, and school locations enables them to create structured routes that comply with safety regulations and schedule requirements. They take into account factors such as road conditions, school start and end times, and student populations to optimize the bus routes.

While other groups, such as the General Assembly or the Department of Public Safety, may set overarching regulations or guidelines regarding transportation safety, they do not engage in the operational details of specific bus routes. School principals may be involved in related discussions to address concerns about student safety and logistics but do not typically have the authority or responsibility for mapping the routes themselves. Therefore, district transportation personnel is the appropriate group tasked with this essential function.
