The Madison Right Start Initiative aims to improve school transportation efficiency and safety. With a growing student population from 4,925 in 2004 to over 6,100 in 2011, numerous issues have arisen, including inadequate supervision, rushed routes, and delays in after-school services. A comprehensive review of bus stop consolidation, traffic flow at Simis, and potential changes to school start and end times has been initiated. The goal is to ensure academic minutes are preserved while increasing efficiency and safety for all students.
