The Leander ISD board of trustees approved further due diligence research of a potential satellite transportation facility near Grandview Hills Elementary School.
The proposed hub would accommodate 31 bus routes, reducing bus travel by 225,000 miles per year, said Jim Disler, LISD executive director of capital improvements. Existing warehouses would be renovated for use by maintenance and technician staff. Preliminary plans include 50 bus parking spaces and additional spots for employees.
Disler said the district's only bus barn in Cedar Park is overcrowded and inadequate.
"It's going to relieve that facility and provide room for expansion and future growth," he said.
