Cape Cod Collaborative provides regular education and special education transportation services for its 20 member school districts.  The Collaborative has daily routes on and off Cape Cod, for example, to Randolph, New Bedford and Braintree.

Cape Cod Collaborative began transporting students for the 1987-88 school year as a result of a request by the Cape & Islands Business Managers Association.  The reasons for the Collaborative providing this service were:

•  Limited competition on route bids prior to 1987-88 (1 bidder/route).

•  Provided the member districts with control of the routes.

•  Provided the member districts route flexibility.

• Cost savings.

The initial eight (8) routes were all on Cape.  The business managers approved the initial structure of the transportation system and pay rates of transportation personnel.  

Information concerning the Collaborative transportation system can be obtained by calling 508.420.6950 x18.
