Illinois Pupil Transportation Advisory Committee (IPTAC)
The purpose of the IPTAC is to actively participate and
advise the Illinois State Board of Education, through the
State Superintendent, on policy matters related to safe student
transportation issues. This committee affords opportunities
for the exchange of professional information, advocates public
policy issues, and promotes the beneficial aspects in the
industry.
The IPTAC is comprised of representatives from state agencies,
area regional offices of education, industry associations/organizations,
school bus contractors and other external constituent representatives
of the Transportation industry. When necessary, committee
representatives assist with the dissemination of various
reports, via newsletters and media materials, designed to
inform key constituencies about IPTAC activities and positions.
Some of the basic categories of involvement include, but
are not limited to human resources, equipment, procedures,
and agency integration. These categories offer the following:
Human Resources—Standards, induction, training and
retention of personnel.
Equipment—Concerns related to the manufacture and
maintenance of
equipment and vehicles for safe student transportation.
Procedures—Best practices for operation
of equipment, including
vehicles, student supervision and daily operations.
Agency Integration—Strengthens cooperation
and cohesion among state agencies with
statutory interest in and responsibility for safe transportation
of students.
