Rhode Island H7460 allows local agencies to opt-out of statewide transportation if they can show a cost-effective alternative.

Rhode Island H7460 amends the statewide transportation system for school pupils, allowing local educational agencies and municipalities to opt-out if they can demonstrate a cost-effective alternative to the current fee-for-service model. If approved by the state education commissioner, these local agencies will not face penalties in state aid appropriations for contracting transportation services. The bill aims to reduce costs and improve efficiency in school transportation services.
