Transportation Evaluation Criteria Analysis
Scenario: _A – Croton to Longleaf____________
Does the scenario increase or decrease or have no effect on the number of students within a 2 mile walking radius?
The 6 students living on Tabitha Court will now walk to Longleaf Elementary instead of ride a bus to Croton.
Are there special considerations relating to transportation that should be considered (like interchange crossing or railroad crossing type of issues)?
No special considerations
Does the proposal increase or decrease or have no effect on the number of student’s bused pass another school?
Instead of these students being bussed through Sable and Creel ‘s attendance zones and south of those schools to get to Croton, they will now be directly into Longleaf’ s zone but will travel North past Sherwood.
Does the scenario create, eliminate or have no effect on a bus ride that is longer than 45 minutes?
No effect.

Transportation Evaluation Criteria Analysis
Scenario: _E – Cambridge and Endeavour to Saturn____________
Does the scenario increase or decrease or have no effect on the number of students within a 2 mile walking radius?
In the North section of the proposed change, all of the Cambridge and Endeavour students are in the walk zones for those schools, but they are outside the 2‐mile limit for Saturn due to limitations in the road network and will need to be bussed. (104 Students). In the Southern portion of the proposed change 34 Endeavour students that ride the bus to Endeavour will become walking students for Saturn. The net change is an increase of 138 walking students
Are there special considerations relating to transportation that should be considered (like interchange crossing or railroad crossing type of issues)?
For some of the students south of 520 we may need to evaluate to add Walking Hazards on Range and Burnett roads. If those areas qualify for a hazard approximately 10 students would need bus transportation
