Tool Search: Pupil Transportation
The Pupil Transportation Extract provides an aggregate count of students within Wisconsin districts who were transported during the regular school year. The counts are submitted for reimbursement by the state based on the number of miles transported.
Pupil Transportation Editor
Report Logic
The Pupil Transportation Record returns students based on the calendar selected in the report editor for all records assigned to the student. Reported values are based on the Transportation (Student) record where the student is assigned a Transportation Code of 01: Regular, and uses the Start Date, End Date and the Miles Transported field.
When generating the Detail Format, if the student has at least one valid transportation records where the Miles Transported field is blank or 0.00, the student's name displays in red, even if they are counted in one of the miles transported columns based on another valid transportation record where the Miles Transported value was populated. If the student name displays in red, it is up to the district to investigate why (perhaps the student is not being counted in the right column, for example).
Students report one time, regardless of how many transportation records they may have and how many schools in which they have enrollment records during the one school year.
- If a student has multiple transportation records with different Miles Transported values, the record with the farthest distance reports. For example, if one record has a Miles Transported value of 2-5 miles and another record has a Miles Transported value of 8-12 miles, the student reports with the 8-12 mile range entry.
- If a student has multiple transportation records with no Miles Transported value, that record is not considered in the count. For example, if one record does not have the Miles Transported field populated, and another record has a Miles Transported value of 8-12 miles, the student reports in the 8-12 miles range.
- If all transportation records for a student do not have the Miles Transported field populated, those records do not display on the State Format. Those records do display on the Detail Format.
State Exclude Logic
- Students marked as State Exclude on their Enrollment Record are not reported.
- Students enrolled in a Grade Level marked as State Exclude are not reported.
- Students enrolled in a Calendar marked as State Exclude are not reported.
Miles Transported
The Miles Transported field on the student's Transportation tab is a dropdown list that allows the school to select a range of miles transported.
- 0-2 miles (hazardous area) - more than 0 miles but less than two miles
- 2-5 miles - more than 2 miles but less than 5 miles
- 5-8 miles - more than 5 miles but less than 8 miles
- 8-12 miles - more than 8 miles but less than 12 miles
- Over 12 miles - 12 miles or more

Students must have a minimum of one valid transportation record where the Transportation Code = 01: Regular. |
Select Calendars | At least one calendar needs to be selected in order to generate the extract. Multiple calendars can be chosen by using the CTRL and SHIFT keys. It is advised that not all calendars be chosen at once due to the amount of data that is returned in the extracts. Calendars can be selected by active year, by school or by year. |
