Goal
• To align and update SACS “No Transportation Zones” Or NTZ’s
![Page 3: SACS No Transportation Zones Update: 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568163a5550346895dd4ad54/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 and more efficient
• 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

![Page 12: SACS No Transportation Zones Update: 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568163a5550346895dd4ad54/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• WMS does not currently have a NTZ • WMS has adjoining paths to and from school• Work will be done to refurbish current paths
to area subdivisions• A NTZ will begin at the beginning of the 2015
school year once the infrastructure is complete

Other SACS Consideration for NTZ
• Aboite• LME
![Page 17: SACS No Transportation Zones Update: 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568163a5550346895dd4ad54/html5/thumbnails/17.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 18: SACS No Transportation Zones Update: 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568163a5550346895dd4ad54/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
LME
• LME does not currently have a NTZ • LME is a rural area with one adjoining path to
and from school• No current infrastructure is in place for a NTZ• We will look at LME in the future as the
infrastructure changes
