For students and their families that live within the regional school system of Quebec, travel to school by bus has become a "fixed" activity. Households operate within a complex system of time, distance and accessibility constraints in adapting to the impact of this fixed bus schedule. This study focuses on the impact of this daily bus ride on the perceptions and behaviours of these households. The Household Activity-Travel Simulator (HATS) technique, developed at Oxford University, was adapted to a survey of 64 households in the Eastern Townships School Board of Quebec. Households were selected according to time-distance from the two English secondary schools in the region. The interview/survey solicited student and family responses and behaviours with respect to the daily bus trip. The study tests six related hypotheses on the effects of such large time units devoted to riding a bus. The hypotheses search for relationships between travel time and the daily activity schedules of students and their families. Through a number of quantitative and qualitative measures, the study concludes that the bus trip has an effect on students and, to a lesser degree, on their families.

This study is a comparative study of the transportation set-ups in the schools of District 5, Texas and attempted to determine the relationships various factors to pupil transportation cost. In light of the findings of the study, the writer made recommendations that would serve District 5 (i.e. Cooke, Grayson, Wise, Denton, and Collin counties).

The purpose of the study was to examine and report on the Vehicle Scheduling Program as provided to the Northern Wells Community School Corporation by the Indiana State Department of Public Instruction. Specifically, the study examined, compared, and analyzed the results of the VSP computer program with the results of the traditional method of scheduling buses in the Northern Wells Community School Corporation. The examinations, analysis, and comparisons involved the following factors:1. Number of buses required.2. Number of bus routes required.3. Number of miles traveled by buses.4. Number of minutes required by buses to complete routes.Data from the study resulted in the following findings:1. A number of districts which have utilized data processing techniques to schedule school bus fleets have experienced substantial financial savings.2. The amount of time required by administrators to prepare data for such computer programs is more extensive than the time required to prepare manual routes.
