What % of school district budgets goes to busing?
Busing costs vary widely among school districts. In East Rochester, which does not bus any of its students, its busing costs consist only of those caused by the requirement to bus private and parochial students to their schools of choice. In Honeoye Falls-Lima, which includes portions of nine townships in three counties, a large fleet of buses and hundreds of miles of travel are required each day to transport the public school students as well as private and parochial students. In Rochester, our largest district, many public and private students walk, others ride, depending on their age and their distance from school.
