MCPS does too many surveys.

Bus drivers are mcps employees or contractors?

They own their own buses.

Typical of these surveys.

I looked at the results from last time, and a lot of schools had <15% response rates, which doesn't make the data too useful for a lot of places.

Don't they contract with outside company for buses? Is that a new thing or has it always been so?

They are finally going to study pedestrian safety. Geez. How long did that take!

Travel sounds way cooler. lol

Yes, it should have been labeled a transportation survey.

Kids will take the survey in school, and it's just about how they get to and from school. From the email that seems to have gone out to all families:

"The results from the survey will be used to help the county track progress in implementing the 2023 Pedestrian Master Plan. It also helps prioritize where pedestrian and bicycle safety and connectivity improvements should be made around schools, with the goal of making walking and biking the preferred ways to get to school for students living within a certain distance."

No. Where is the survey?

Another survey? What is this one about? What do they need to figure out now; something related to trying to get another bus tracking app!? Did your kid complete it?
