Navigating New Requirements in School-Related Transportation Roundtable

Join us for an interactive roundtable designed to equip local educational agencies (LEAs) with a comprehensive understanding of significant new transportation requirements taking effect on July 1, 2025. Recent California legislation has introduced a robust new set of standards governing school-related transportation in vehicles with a capacity of ten passengers or fewer, impacting both employees and third-party providers who transport students. These new mandates will have far-reaching implications for a wide range of student transportation services—including daily home-to-school routes, athletics, extracurricular programs, special academic offerings like dual enrollment, and career technical education activities.

As LEAs prepare for the upcoming school year, they will face the challenge of implementing these changes while striving to minimize disruption to essential student services. This roundtable will provide an in-depth look at the law’s technical components, outlining the specific requirements for drivers and vehicles, and will offer practical strategies for achieving compliance. Participants will gain insight into how to evaluate current practices, identify needed changes, and create an implementation roadmap that ensures student safety and legal adherence without sacrificing access to critical programs.

The session will include a facilitated question and answer segment, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions specific to their contexts and hear how other LEAs are approaching implementation. Whether you are managing a large-scale transportation operation or overseeing transportation on a smaller scale, this event is essential for understanding how to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is intended for administrators who oversee any aspect of student transportation, including but not limited to:

• Transportation directors

• Chief business officials

• Human resources directors

• Career technical education coordinators

• Academic program administrators (e.g., dual enrollment and interschool transfers)

• Special education transportation leads (beyond Individualized Education Program-specific services, such as workability programs)

Don’t miss this opportunity to get ahead of the curve and ensure your LEA is ready to meet the new requirements with confidence and compliance.
