Montgomery County Public Schools Department of Transportation Steering Committee 2024-2025
The PURPOSE of this steering committee is to have a diverse set of stakeholders to:
- Have multiple perspectives to represent more than just one group
- Review feedback from other stakeholders to make recommendations about next steps
- Develop and support with how the recommendations from the transportation study can best be implemented
- Provide input and recommendations about future products, communication strategies, and innovation.
Our GOAL is to determine how to offer a quality school transportation service that supports the instructional needs of students.
The DOT Steering Committee is composed of school-based administrators, central office staff, parents and/or guardians, and community and public safety partners. Our initial meeting was held on September 10, 2024 where we shared the purpose and vision, reviewed the findings and recommendations from the transportation study, and shared insight, ideas, and perspectives to help inform next steps. We will continue to add updates, resources, and information to this page as this work progresses.
The Center for Effective School Operations (CESO) conducted a transportation study for the Department of Transportation (DOT) for Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) from September 2023 through January 2024. CESO developed initial observations and findings, as well as established direction for the rest of the work with the Baseline Conditions Assessment. Four additional targeted deliverables followed that were focused on a specific aspect of the future of the organization, including change management, routing, technology, and fleet, contracts and financial management, and personnel management. An Executive Summary was also included identifying the key findings of the assessment, themes for change, and a focus on change management.
