Field Trip Costs
This letter provides the published rates
for Field Trips for the ‘08-’09 school year. All costs originate
and end at the Transportation Center – 5240 Geiger Blvd. Colorado
Springs, CO 80915. Rates are effective starting July 1, 2008.
Hourly Driver Rate - $18.60 plus $1.50 per mile
In town field trips
are normally scheduled between the hours of 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
(between AM and PM route times). Field trips can be scheduled on
line at either the D-11 Intranet or the following link
http://d11trans1.cssd11.k12.co.us/edulog/eFTremote/ . Please
ensure that your field trip requests are scheduled and approved at
least two weeks prior to the trip. Peak demand for field trips has
traditionally been at the beginning and ending of the school year.
Early planning and requests at the beginning of the year for
transportation support can help ensure that transportation will be
available.
As a reminder, our department can only
support five (5) out-of-town field trip buses each
school day, those buses are limited to a 44-passenger capacity
(High School & Middle School) and 50-passenger capacity
(Elementary School). If you require a bus with under carriage
luggage storage capability please specify that requirement in your
transportation request. To reserve out of town field trip buses
please contact Transportation Operations at 520-2940.
All administrators and teachers, who are
field trip sponsors, should read and comply with District Field Trip
Procedures. This information can be found on the D-11
Transportation WEB Site. Compliance with the procedures will help
ensure proper planning, safety and execution of your transportation
support. A review of the Board Policy concerning Field Trips in
support of educational objectives is highly recommended.
Sincerely,
W.
