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.

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?
