Good morning, NASDPTS Members,

In response to state and local jurisdictions beginning to plan for reopening of schools and transportation operations, the National School Transportation Association, the National Association for Pupil Transportation, and NASDPTS have convened the STARTS Task Force (Student Transportation Aligned for Return to School).

Please see the attached Press Release and the draft organizational chart for the operation of the task force.  We encourage anyone interested in serving on or assisting the task force to send their expression of interest to STARTS@napt.org, the central point of contact for this project.  Questions about the task force should also be directed to that address.

Thank you.  Please stay safe and healthy.
