October_2020_21-996_Appendix New York City School Bus Route Reporting

January 1-March 13, 2020

Notes

Student ride times were reported as defined by the time difference between the scheduled stop time and the school session time. This was reported at the student level as this is a more useful metric for judging service provided. A full route, including all pick ups and drop offs would not be reflective of the time any individual student spent on the bus.

Current curb-to-school routing systems do not capture scheduled pick up times, therefore this metric could not be calculated. Pick up times are estimated by school bus companies and communicated to parents directly.

For stop-to-school routes the average scheduled student ride time was provided. As stated above, this could not be calculated for curb-to-school service as our current data structure does not support this

Students with blank to school Monday session time were excluded.

For school year 2019-2020, Vendors have until 05/15/2020 to submit Dry Run documentation. No liquidated damages issued for this reporting period.

In July and August of 2019, there are 6 and 7 year old students denoted as receiving preschool curb-to-school service. This is due to data cleanup that typically occurs over the summer and in September. This explains why there is a significant reduction and altogether removal of 6 and 7 year old students for October.
