Revises mileage limit for mandatory school transportation for students.

This bill revises New Jersey's mandatory school transportation policy by reducing the required mileage distance from 2 miles (elementary) and 2.5 miles (secondary) to 1.5 miles for all students. It directly affects public school districts, which must now provide transportation to students living beyond 1.5 miles from their school, while also establishing rules for transporting students to nonpublic schools within 20 miles if no closer in-state option exists. The bill includes cost limits ($675 per pupil annually, adjusted for inflation) and allows parents to waive transportation services via written consent. Districts may also offer optional transportation for students living within the new 1.5-mile threshold, with costs shared by families if they choose this service.
