This detailed report and analysis of school bus transportation in Indiana is divided into the following topics: transportation policies; bus utilization; the bus driver and his terms of employment; bus ownership; insurance, storage, maintenance, and fuel costs; bus ownership and costs; and the transportation director. A strong case is made for further studies, analyses, and reports dealing with bus transportation--particularly those that emphasize transportation policies and costs. Numerous tables and graphs are used to report study findings. (LLR)
