1. Transportation Analysis

2. Issues Is it feasible to reduce bus usage? – Priority for bus users – Paperwork requirements – Impact on practice schedule, safety, Sandy Run neighborhood, personal autos Should we have an Opt Out Policy? – How to manage – Cost implications

3. Transportation Analysis Assumptions Maximum Rowers per bus: 50 Total Rowers: 72 Cost per County Bus: $15,000 Oakton Fee: $3,900 Cost per Commercial bus: $22,500

4. Current Option 2 buses supporting 72 rowers + Oakton

5. Option 1 1 Bus Supporting 50 Rowers with 22 drivers

6. Option 2 1 County Bus + 1 Commercial Bus supporting 72 Rowers + Oakton

7. Option 2a 1 County Bus + 1 Commercial Bus supporting 72 Rowers - No Oakton

8. Conclusions Publish Transportation Policy: “Our dues include transportation fees which provide a significant benefit to parents by getting their rowers to practice safely, and to coaches by getting everyone to practice on time. We do not offer the option of opting out, as transportation benefits the overall team, similar to the purchase of boats and other equipment.” If we lose a County bus: Poll team to determine who would want to drive If not enough rowers want to drive, pursue commercial bus at additional cost
