Car pools? You find even one or two families to share it with and it won't feel so ominous. Granted everyone has to have big cars/vans the more kids in the car pool. Find families with only one child.

Van services? Our elementary school...the zoned kids all live within 2 miles of the school and it is considered an entire student body walking school. The only kids with bus service are students in the self contained ESE classes that ride the special needs buses. And then there is the school choice program kids who attend as out of zone kids for the dual language program (which is my kid). The out of zone kids live further away than 2 miles (we live 3 miles and I just transport him, our zoned school is 1.5 miles in the other direction). There can't be more than 50 of those kids. But the school is serviced by several transportation vans...there have to be 30 of them. I don't know how much they charge but most of them can't be going more than 2 miles.
