Variances Variances grant exceptions to regular transportation procedures Forms available on OPT web site Parent and school complete all fields and mail according to instructions on form Variances renewed annually Medical Request for transportation based on medical issue Medical variance form and documentation must be mailed: DOE medical reviews/approves Access Request for transportation based on lack of adequate public transportation Hazard Request for transportation due to hazardous condition on walking route to school Distance Dispute Parent believes distance calculation is incorrect Emergency Student requires transportation due to emergency situation Shelter Student in temporary housing requires transportation Shelter completes variance form and submits to OPT

Door-to-Door Transportation Basics Identify student Requests for door-to-door transportation originate from the School Assessment Team in public schools. Decision that student requires door-to-door transportation made through IEP process. Medical Alert Codes Additional accommodations based on documentation (provided to parent by SAT team) from student’s physician. Documentation review (consultation with DOHMH physician) and data updates on STRE screen in ATS managed by CFN liaison (CSE for Charter School students). OPT Routers OPT routers determine routes and sequence based on Medical Alert (MA) code and school session time. Routes may be updated when data changes. Notification OPT notifies parents by letter of initial route and updates. Schools track pending route changes by reviewing OPT Ridership on OPT web site Door-to-door transportation provided across district/borough lines. Based on the student IEP, some students receiving SE services at school may be assigned stop-to-school transportation or SE MetroCard.

Address Changes for Students with Door-to-Door Transportation Step One Pupil Accounting Secretary enters new address on ATS BIO screen Step Two School contacts CFN Liaison that an address update has been entered (provide school, student name and ID) Charter Schools can provide parents with CSE contact person to update address Step Three CFN Liaison updates student record in STRE screen in ATS for Public school CSE updates student record in STRE screen in ATS for Charter school Step Four OPT routers see changes following day and update route—letter mailed to parents with new route information Step Five Change posted on OPT Ridership—new route activated seven days after OPT router makes change

Special Education Students on Stop-to-School Busing Students not mandated for door-to-door transportation on IEP School staff may Assign any available yellow bus stop Assign SE MetroCard Student not mandated for door-to-door transportation on IEP but receiving SE services at non-zoned school School may request CFN liaison to assign G ambulatory code on STRE screen in ATS Student will be assigned available GE stop If no GE stop is available student is placed on door-to-door transportation
