Student Transportation Allocation Reporting System (STARS)

The Student Transportation Allocation Reporting System (STARS) is used for the distribution of operations funding for school district transportation. STARS is a new system that uses a statistical analysis of individual school district characteristics to determine an expected cost of operations. School districts report student ridership counts and other data three times per year: Fall, Winter and Spring. Funding is determined after the winter report in February, with spring counts being used the following school year. This page provides statewide reports of district data.

Three non-funding related reports are also generated by STARS: School Transportation Fuel, School Bus Mileage, and McKinney-Vento Transportation.
