Details:
Ozioma Paul, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Manchester, who is researching challenges in home-to-school transport, particularly focusing on large-scale routing inclusive of special needs students and heterogeneous fleets in the Northwest of England.

Ozioma’s project presents potential time and cost savings for parents/children and policymakers. Participants in this study have an opportunity to help shape and influence the design of new decision-making tools for home-to-school travel, especially for students with SEND.

You’re invited to participate in the second stage of the recruitment process. While the initial interview was more restricted, this survey aims to understand what matters to various parties, from local councils to parents.

The survey will take approximately 2-5 minutes to complete and will be instrumental in helping us understand what is important to different stakeholders. Your input will contribute significantly to identifying the criteria and constraints relevant to different stakeholders, as well as other features characteristic of England’s school bus system.
