i believe, for as many out-of-school programs there are...there are an
equal number of different ways by which students are transported to
program sites.

- grant funded
- private citizens sponsoring transportation, provided by the local
school district.
- private citizens sponsoring transportation, provided by the local
public transportation service.

- depending on the location of the site...students walk or find their
own transportation.

I'm working on a grant for an out-of-school program for middle school
students and am running into a logistics nightmare with the
transportation issue. How are other science centers or museums getting
students from schools to their sites for after school programs and then
home after? How about Saturday programs? Three of the schools we would
like to include are magnet schools, so a percentage of those students
are from all over the county. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!
Becky
