For every school district, transportation is a major expense. In rural and geographically large districts, those costs can place an even greater strain on budgets as buses travel long distances to serve students. 🚌

Consider this: in one rural district, a new school bus cost $59,479 in 2006. By 2025, that same purchase cost $127,383, a 114% increase. By comparison, the average cost of goods rose about 60% during that period.

And the challenges do not stop there. Rising insurance premiums and other growing operational costs have added significant financial pressure on schools. Learn more in our Setting the Record Straight document below.
