Mapping SFUSD’s Transportation Infrastructurefor Students with Disabilities
ACCESS + EQUITY: Julie LeungMasters in Public Health Candidate, 2015
UC Berkeley, School of Public Health
How can we analyze San Francisco Uni�ed School District’s (SFUSD) special education current transportation infrastructure and develop a deeper understanding of the current state so that we strategically explore ways to maximize use of and access to resources for students with disabilities?
1. Transportation and enrollment data on special education (SpEd) students was obtained through coordination with SFUSD’s transportation department, special education services, and enrollment placement center.2. Analyzed data for patterns and processes that inform and comprise the SpEd transportation infrastructure. 3. Created project visualization maps with ArcGIS to understand the location of students, where they are being transported to and the SpEd services being utilized in the district.
Student Assignment:• Explore the program capacity of the current program services in schools.• How important is proximity to school a factor in SpEd student assignment?
Data Set Management:• Consolidate the transportation and enrollment information into one database system to reduce error and improve inter-department collaboration?
Other Modes of Transportation:• What is the feasibility of collaborating with San Francisco Metropolitan Transportation Authority to provide youth and other student transit passes that are cost e�ective and safe for SpEd students? • What is the feasibility of utilizing non-motorized transportation alternatives to school, such as Safe Routes to School and bike sharing programs?

Each student is picked up and dropped at a speci�c address. The majority of students have two routes assigned, a morning pickup, and an afternoon drop-o�. However, 259 students have 3 or more routes assigned to them. The di�ering number of routes is due to stu-dents who need occupational, physical, or mental health therapy, which require mid-day and after school service where the student is picked up from school and taken to therapy and returned to school or home. A school’s early release and bell schedule also in�uences the number of routes.
