I have a grant to offer free transportation to schools in our local
district. When the group schedules a visit to my class, I organize the
transportation through a local bus company. This service is appreciated
by our visiting schools, but I have had difficulties finding a reliable
bus company in our area.
I would be happy to answer any specific questions off-list.

We offer free bus scholarships to schools that are within a certain
radius of us. (Sponsored by a local company) We do not have a bus, we
just have agreements with the bus companies- the teacher/school shows
them a voucher from us and the company submits a bill. It is pretty
simple to implement. If you have any further questions, feel free to
contact me off list.

Over the past few years we have found that the cost for transportation
is becoming a barrier for school field trips to our science center.
Fortunately, we have a corporate sponsor that is interested in funding a
"free bus" for schools that qualify. It would reside on-site at Pacific
Science Center, and would be scheduled to pick-up and deliver school
groups (probably one group/day), at no extra cost to the group. We would
like to hear from other organizations that have investigated, considered
or perhaps successfully implemented a free bus for field trip program.
If this applies to your organization, please let me know and I will
forward some specific questions.
Thanks,
Karen
