22 Pa. Code § 23.36 - Transportation by district-owned equipment

(a) The maximum allowable costs for reimbursement, other than depreciation, shall be determined by adding together the amounts determined in subsection (b). Maximum allowable costs for reimbursement for a school year may not exceed the amount reported for actual operation of district-owned vehicles on the annual financial report for the school year in question prorated on the ratio of approved annual mileage to and from school during the school term to the total annual mileage traveled during the school year for all purposes by the designated vehicles.

(b) The maximum allowable costs shall be the sum of the amounts determined as follows:

(1) A basic annual allowance per vehicle and driver for reimbursement purposes shall be computed as follows:

(i) For each district-owned vehicle approved and used in pupil transportation both to and from school during the full school term, an allowance of $540 shall be made, except that for vehicles with an approved rated pupil capacity of ten or less, the allowance shall be $360. Each qualifying vehicle shall be allotted an additional amount determined by multiplying the approved rated pupil capacity of the vehicle times $15 if the vehicle is from 1 to 10 years of age, and times $12 if the vehicle is 11 years of age or over.

(ii) When the vehicle is used less than full school term or is used daily only for transportation either to school or from school, or travels less than 20 miles per day in transporting pupils to and from school, the basic annual allowance shall be reduced in accordance § 23.35(b)(1)(ii) and (iii) (relating to transportation by contract).

(2) The allowance based on mileage shall be computed in accordance with § 23.35(b)(2).

(3) The utilized passenger capacity miles allowance for reimbursement purposes shall be determined by multiplying the approved utilized passenger capacity miles of service to and from school provided during the school term times $3 per thousand or fraction thereof.

(4) The allowance, if any, based on annual approved excess driver hours, shall be calculated in accordance with § 23.35(b)(4).

(c) Approved reimbursable costs of approved reimbursable pupil transportation provided by district-owned vehicles shall be computed by multiplying the maximum allowable costs for reimbursement provided for in subsection (b) by the cost index provided for in § 23.39 (relating to adjustments), and subtracting from the result an amount equal to the lesser of 10% of the approved purchase price of each vehicle at the time of acquisition or $700 for each vehicle.
