For students experiencing homelessness, reliable transportation is a vital connection to school. But changing addresses, longer travel distances, and competing budget demands can make transportation planning complex.

Join us for a practical conversation about managing McKinney-Vento transportation costs while protecting student access and school stability. Explore how student services, transportation, and finance teams can work together to assess needs, compare transportation options, and respond quickly when a family’s housing situation changes.

We’ll discuss how to evaluate total transportation costs, identify opportunities for better coordination, and build a clear case for resources. Attendees will leave with questions to guide planning conversations and a framework for balancing financial decisions with student needs. Whether you’re a liaison, transportation director, or district business leader, this session will help you plan collaboratively and keep students connected to school.
