FL S0802

Requires district school boards to provide transportation for all public school students (K-12) subjected to hazardous walking conditions, expanding current law that only mandated transportation for students in grades K-6

Reduces the walking distance threshold from 2 miles to 1.5 miles from school for students to qualify for transportation services

Lowers the speed limit threshold for hazardous walking conditions from 50 mph to 45 mph for roads lacking adequate walkways and at uncontrolled crossings

Reduces the lane threshold for hazardous crossings from six lanes to four lanes, making more roads eligible for hazardous condition designation

Requires district school superintendents to request a hazardous walking condition review when a parent submits a written request, and mandates (rather than permits) school boards to initiate legal proceedings when governmental representatives cannot reach consensus on hazardous conditions
