Washington HB1579 aims to improve student transportation funding by creating a new model that addresses the diverse needs of students and school.

Washington HB1579 seeks to enhance student transportation funding by directing the superintendent of public instruction to develop a new funding model. This model will address the unique transportation challenges faced by rural and high population density urban districts. It will also include mechanisms to support the transportation needs of special student populations, such as those experiencing homelessness, in foster care, or attending skill centers. The new model will allocate per-pupil funding for qualifying students and require districts to report transportation data three times a year.
