Forced transfer busing occurs primarily at the elementary school level when students are bused to an alternate school when their geographically-assigned school is full at their specific grade level. Ineffective forced transfer busing can result in extra student travel time and inefficient use of often scarce transportation resources. In fact, some force transferred students regularly arrive to their alternate school after morning classes have started due to inefficient transportation practices. We examine various forced transfer busing network design strategies using actual public school system data from two school districts to assess various proposed solution methodologies effectiveness at developing practically implementable busing solutions in a realistic amount of time. In addition, preliminary models and analysis are presented for special needs busing problems in one local school district such that student travel time is minimized for these often medically-fragile children.
