Relates to pupil transportation

This bill allows school districts in New York to enter "piggyback contracts" with other districts that already use private transportation contractors. It directly affects school districts and private transportation providers by enabling them to share existing contracts when cost savings are confirmed and approved by the state education commissioner. The key provision requires districts to verify that the shared contract is cost-effective and that the private contractor meets state requirements. This mechanism aims to reduce transportation costs for school districts by leveraging existing private contracts rather than creating new ones.
