Flat Rate Program Monthly Form

The Flat Rate Program provides Philadelphia parents with a monthly payment of $300 to transport their children to school, helping reduce reliance on school buses amidst a driver shortage. Eligible parents must reside in Philadelphia, live at least 1.5 miles from the school, and have children in grades 1-5. Families apply through the local transportation department, submitting monthly forms to maintain eligibility. This flat rate structure offers predictable costs, aligning with the principle of a consistent, fixed payment for services.
