BILL NUMBER:A10447 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend chapter 698 of the laws of 1996 amending the education law relating to transportation contracts, in relation to the effectiveness thereof PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill makes chapter 698 of the laws of 1996 permanent which relate to the use of Request for Proposals for pupil transportation contracts. JUSTIFICATION: Prior to the 1996 RFP law, children and school districts would fall victim to school bus operators with, poor safety records and substandard operations because they were forced to choose school bus companies based on price alone. Since that time, inferior operators have been excluded from operating pupil transportation services and there is an ever growing number of school districts utilizing the RFP process. The original sunset provision was necessary to determine whether the use of RFPs for pupil transportation contracts would improve the delivery of private pupil transportation services and it has, over a decade later, proven to be a tremendous success in terms of providing our school districts with an efficient and safe transportation System. More than that, continuing to renew these provisions every five years is an unnec- essary waste of resources in addition to creating an unnecessary sense of uncertainty for schools that want to utilize the RFP law to procure pupil transportation services.
