Goal
• To align and update SACS “No Transportation Zones” Or NTZ’s
![Page 3: SACS No Transportation Zones Update: 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568161c2550346895dd1a8c7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why?
• Fiscal Responsibility: At a time when many districts are planning to eliminate all transportation services because of budget cuts, SACS is being fiscally proactive, positioning the district to continue transportation services for those who do not live in an NTZ
• Fairness: We enforce No Transportation Zones at three of our elementary schools
• Fitness: Research supports that when parents enable students to walk/ ride a bike to school, they are healthier, calmer and more alert

Other SACS Consideration for NTZ
• Aboite• LME
![Page 16: SACS No Transportation Zones Update: 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568161c2550346895dd1a8c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Aboite Elementary
• AES does not currently have a NTZ • AES does not currently have adjoining paths
to and from school• School officials will investigate the possibility
of creating an infrastructure to connect paths
![Page 17: SACS No Transportation Zones Update: 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062301/568161c2550346895dd1a8c7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
LME
• LME does not currently have a NTZ • LME is a rural area with one adjoining path to
and from school• No student lane exists to allow students to
cross• We will look at LME in the future as the
infrastructure changes
