] Census Report Shoivs
School Bus Is Major Means Of Transportation For Students
me yellow school bus is
the chief means of trans
portaion to school for
elementary and secondary
school students, followed
by walking and private auto
moblies, according to a report
from the Bureau of the Cen
sus, U.S. Department of Com
merce. The report, based on a
nationwide survey, is the first
of its kind published by the
Bureau to measure the
distance, time, and mode of
transportation of students.
School buses are needed to
transport about 20 million or
40 per cent of the 49 million
students to and from school.
The report notes that by
contrast, only 7 per cent of
public school students were
estimated to have been
transported to school at public
The growth in the use of
school buses is most evident
for elementary school
students. Comparison of the
new figures, gathered in
October 1979. with those from
a 1969 study shows an increase
from 37 per cent to 43 oer cent
in the proportion of students in
kindergarten through grade 6
transported by school bus.
Among high school students in
proportion traveling by
school bus remained around 38
per cent.
The report also shows that
in 1978 another 14 million
students--one-third of
elementary pupils and
one-fifth of those in high
school-walked to school, while
nearly 12 million either drove
or were taken in private cars,
1.6 million used public buses,
and 715,000 either rode bikes
or used some other means of
transport.
Generally, students live
close to school. Nearly one
third of all students live within
a mile and about one-half take
less than la minutes to make
the trip Only 12 per cent lived
10 miles or farther and about 7
per cent spent 45 minutes or
more getting to school.
College students living at
home spent a median of 23
minutes and traveled a
median of 9 miles getting to
classes; one-third of them
lived within 5 miles of campus
but 11 per cent had to
commute 25 miles or more.
Other highlights from the
report are as follows:
-The automobile was used
by 80 per cent of the 6 6 million
college students living at
nearly 2 million vocational
school students living at home
and commuting to classes.
-One-third of white high
school students drove or were
driven to school compared
with one-ninth of black high
school students
-Black children made up 15
per cent of the elementary
school population in 1978 but
comprised 35 per cent of all
elementary students riding
public buses to school. 20 per
cent of those walking, and 13
per cent of those who rode a
school bus
-Children who attended
private schools were less
likely to live near their school
or have school bus transpor
tation than were public school
students.
As in all surveys, the data in
sampling variability and
errors of response, including
underreporting and non
reporting A detailed
explanation appears in the
report.
