Abstract

The origin and development of pupil transportation in the United States has been influenced by social, economic, and technological factors. In an interdependent way, these factors have directed and controlled the evolution of pupil transportation. The reason for transporting pupils to school are rooted in the elements of our rural culture and in the social, economic, and technological forces acting upon it. The American farmer, by living on the land he tilled, helped to introduce forms of rural social structure which made pupil transportation inevitable. The needs of early rural people were met by the establishment of social organizations such as churches and schools for carrying on activities beyond those of the economically self-sufficient family unit. The country neighborhood became the most influential pattern of association beyond the family.
