These items can be summarized in a series of success factors. Exhibit 10-12 describes the success factors and AISD's status in each area. Productivity Student riders per mile and riders per bus below peer average. Cost per rider 31 percent higher than peer average for special education routes. Cost per rider has increased 50 percent over past five years.
Mechanics complete only two work orders per day.
Transportation Cost Operating costs have decreased over the last five years but not as much as annual miles and riders. Management Information Systems Limited use of automated routing and scheduling to create routes. Safety Inadequate driver and monitor training hours. Preventive Maintenance Fleet maintenance software tracks work orders and ensures preventive maintenance is performed at regular mileage intervals. The board has already recognized the cost savings associated with privatizing portions of transportation services by approving the Capital Metro contract.
