Summary

The bill establishes a state‑run transportation network for all K‑12 students, letting each school committee buy bus services on a fee‑for‑service basis. Districts that keep their own buses or find cheaper vendors can submit costs for state reimbursement, and the law adds rules about payment timing, electric‑bus preferences, and driver discipline. It aims to cut duplicate routes, lower costs, and improve ride times.
