SUMMARY:Chats from the Bus Stop: 2024-2025 Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:The 2024-2025 Chats from the Bus Stop Webinar series begins in October. Transportation Consultant Pete Japikse and attorney Hollie Reedy will provide timely updates and information to keep your Transportation operations moving forward! \nOctober 8\, 2024 (Tuesday)                     Transportation Funding and Finance  \nFocus on the data collected in the T1 and T2 reports\, what that data is used for at the state level\, and how your district is funded for transportation services. We will cover data collection best practices and steps to manage an audit of your program. Explore how data collection can benefit your transportation operation management beyond the state funding associated with it. \nJanuary 14\, 2025 (Tuesday)                    Transportation Emergency Management  \nAre you confident your district’s transportation department is prepared for an accident\, equipment failure\, student/driver medical emergency\, or weather catastrophe? Ohio Administrative Code requires that all transportation departments have an emergency plan in place. An effective emergency plan provides a detailed map to navigate the challenges that we hope never happen. This course will give you the tools to prepare (or update) a customized emergency plan for your transportation operation. \nFebruary 11\, 2025 (Tuesday)                 Routing Software: Not Just for Routing? \nWe buy routing software to route buses\, but what else can it do to help the transportation office? The newest software packages in the industry have many other tools and benefits that you may not be familiar with.

SUMMARY:Transportation Administrator Deep Dive: Guided Self-Evaluation of District Transportation Operations
DESCRIPTION:There are so many requirements in the transportation operations of your district.  How can you be sure you are compliant in all the required actions\, rules\, and tasks?  You could engage a consultant to come and assist your district individually\, but you could also join a small group coached by Pete Japikse and participate in a guided\, objective self-assessment walkthrough yourself in a more cost-effective manner.  Together we will assess more than 80 different elements in your transportation program.  You will still get an expert consultant leading you through the process of evaluating your operations in person.  This unique opportunity includes a personalized review by Pete of the completed self-evaluation and a summary of prioritized goals and next steps after the walkthrough is completed. \nSpend a day in Columbus with EB Consulting in a small group of transportation professionals (treasurers\, business managers\, and superintendents also welcome) focused on reviewing your transportation operations overall and planning based on your District’s particular data. \nSpace is limited! Cost for the program: $399.00 ($199.00 for the second staff person from the same district.)Program location: Ennis Britton’s Columbus office at 8740 Orion Place\, Suite 315\, Columbus\, OH \n
