  School Board Lays Groundwork for Multimodal Transportation Committee

The Arlington School Board continued its discussion on the Multimodal Transportation and Student Safety Committee at last night’s meeting.

The proposed committee will report to the School Board and provide advice regarding the safe transportation of students to and from school by a variety of modes of transportation including walking, bus transportation, bicycling, and driving.

APS will begin accepting applications for the committee before Thanksgiving break. The applications will be posted on the APS website. The School Board is expected to approve the committee charge at the Dec. 6 meeting.
