OIEP allocates transportation funds based on the types of transportation programs that the school provides. To allocate transportation funds OIEP:
(a) Multiplies the one-way commercial costs for all schools by four to identify the total commercial costs for all schools;
(b) Subtracts the commercial cost total from the appropriated transportation funds and allocates the balance of the transportation funds to each school with a per-mile rate;
(c) Divides the balance of funds by the sum of the annual day miles and the annual residential miles to identify a per-mile rate;
(d) For day transportation, multiplies the per-mile rate times the annual day miles for each school; and
(e) For residential transportation, multiplies the per mile rate times the annual transportation miles for each school.
