  2. Agenda • Estimating Transportation Allotment for 2009-2010 • TIMS Service Indicators • Routing strategies / review of applicable laws and policies

  3. Estimating Transportation Allotment for 2009-2010 • What you will need: • 2008-2009 transportation funding information sheet dated November 27, 2008 • Number of buses operated 2008-2009 • Student Count, October 2008 • Expenditure Information • Budget Rating Simulator Software

  4. PRC 56 Allotment(Transportation) • Funding Base • Reduction for fuel costs • Multiply by Budget Rating • Reduction for legislative cuts • Increase for higher ADM

  5. ADM increase • Most LEAs will not see an ADM increase for 2009-2010 because an increase in enrollment may be offset by a decrease in the Kindergarten class, resulting from the change in the applicable birth date for enrollment • For those that will have a projected increase, a 1.6% increase (for example) will result in a 1.6%$ allotment increase

  6. Funding Base = Total Eligible State and Local Expenditures (PRC 56) for 2008-2009 • Start with line 1 (1a+1b) of your transportation info from Nov. 27, 2008 • Add additional funds for ADM increase (line 9) • Add additional funds for salary increases (line 10) • Subtract Line 12a to reduce fuel from $2.90 (2007-08 actual) to $2.40 (2008-2009 allotted) • Subtract: Multiply Line 12a by 0.7 to reduce fuel from $2.40 to $2.05 for 2009-2010

  7. CALCULATE SIMULATOR RATING • Update Number of Students Transported from TD-2, October 2008 • Update Number of Buses Operated for 91+ Days, 2008 – 2009 • Update State Expenditures from 2008 – 2009 • Total Eligible State Expenditures 2008-2009, PRC 56 • Add State Funds that would have been spent if no freeze • Add Total Eligible Local Expenditures, PRC 56 (to be reported on TD-1) • Subtract Local Expenditures spent only because of freeze • Add Fuel Offset Due to Falling Fuel Prices ===>Multiply Line 12a by 1.38 • DIVIDE ALL EXPENDITURES BY 2 FOR SIMULATOR

  8. Estimate Transportation Funding Funding base for 2009-2010 x Simulator Rating (-) Legislative Cut (+) ADM Increase (if applicable) ( )Salary/Benefits Adjustments = Estimated Transportation Funding for 2009 - 2010

  9. TIMS Service Indicators Developed by the TIMS project staff Rob Hamby, UNCC Urban Institute • Statewide Data for LEA Planning • Indication of compliance • www.ncbussafety.org - TIMS

  10. A Guide to Better Compliance withNorth Carolina State Rules, Regulations, Guidelines, Policies and LawsGoverning Bus Routing and Scheduling www.ncbussafety.org

  11. TIMS A helpful tool in times of budget cuts.

  12. SUMMARY ** There will be a statewide budget cut ** There likely will not be enough funding for full reimbursement of early college ** There likely will not be additional state funding if fuel rises above $2.058 per gallon ** Efficiency measures are in order ** Student Safety is ALWAYS in order
