Leander ISD is celebrating Transportation Appreciation Week from October 21-25. All of #1LISD extends some extra gratitude this week to our district drivers, monitors, mechanics, crossing guards and the entire transportation department!
LISD Transportation: By the Numbers
- Leander ISD transports about 12,000 students to and from school every day
- The transportation department runs 165 routes
- About 6,000 trips are completed each year
- LISD transportation runs about 3 million miles a year
Leander ISD Sr. Director of Transportation, Tracie Franco, says this is only possible because of the dedication, professionalism and relentlessness of the staff members who make up the transportation department. “Our team is made up of retired professionals, college students, single parents, and best of all — people who love what they do,” Franco said.
For the district’s transportation department, the primary focus is the students. “You ask anyone in this department why they do what they do, and the resounding answer will be, the kids!” Franco said. “This is why Leander ISD Transportation is amazing and I am so proud of who we are and what we do for the students and community. Thank you to the best transportation department in Texas.”
