Summary

The measure amends Pennsylvania’s Public School Code so school districts can provide free rides for eligible charter and non‑profit private‑school students, as well as for field trips, and may allocate district money to urban mass‑transit authorities. It sets distance and safety rules, requires liability insurance for private vehicles, and bars common‑carrier use for K‑6 students. The changes are intended to broaden access to school transportation and support broader transit options.
