Relates to pupil transportation

This bill allows New York school districts to use existing private transportation contractors from other districts to transport their students, a practice known as "piggybacking," if doing so results in cost savings and meets safety standards. It authorizes school boards to enter into these agreements with the commissioner's approval and defines the types of transportation contracts and vehicles covered under the new rules. Additionally, the legislation updates legal definitions related to school buses, drivers, and motor carriers, while requiring annual reviews of bus driver driving records to ensure safety compliance. The changes directly affect school districts, transportation contractors, and drivers involved in student transportation logistics.
