February 14, 2017 Estimate Red Study

ADL & EHS start times are 15 min apart, allowing for 6-12 Combined Runs Utilization Projections from RED study seem high for population not familiar with bus pick-up Assume 30 minute Run Limit. On average, 20 stops@ 1 minute per stop/Bus. Plus, 5 minute school drop-off leaves travel-time tight in congested area not conducive to bus traffic. Unlikely that 18 buses could do double runs given traffic and road design

Preschool

Differences in Preschool:

  • 1. Essex Junction accepts only 4 year olds into peer

slots and ET and Westford accept 3 and 4 year olds into peer slots in school based programs.

  • 2. Westford offers transportation to Pre-K students

when it is available to others.

  • 3. Essex Town has a Head Start Program and Essex

Junction and Westford do not.

2/14/2017

Head Start:

  • Essex Town hosts a Head Start program in the

immediate geographic region.

  • Essex Junction or Westford could potentially use the

Essex Town Head Start Program

  • Administration would recommend conversation

around the access impact of any one program

  • utside of the broader context of program utilization

between the systems prior to any action .
