T Report Instructions & Worksheets

 

The T-1 report is required annually by Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3301-83-01. The data for this report is an average of eligible resident pupils enrolled and regularly transported using the greater of the average counted in the morning or counted in the afternoon during the designated count week, the first full week of October, that school is in session. Each district or school submits the ridership data certifying to the Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) the actual number of pupils transported and total daily miles traveled. This data is then used for calculation of the pupil transportation payment pursuant to Section 3317.0212.

Another requirement of OAC 3301-83-01 is that by August 31st of every fiscal year  districts or schools that receive transportation payment are to submit the T-2 report. This report certifies the actual expenses incurred in the transportation of eligible pupils, as reported on the T-1 ridership report, to DEW electronically. 

All transportation data for both reports will be entered through the School Foundation Payment System (SFPS). This is a secure electronic system that is accessed by schools through the internet, which allows direct entry of data with digital signatures.  All data must be entered, digitally reviewed and signed by the school’s treasurer and superintendent, and transmitted electronically.

To gain access to SFPS, a user needs to have a OH|ID Account, Department of Education and Workforce Profile and an appropriate OEDS Role. If you are having problems with your OH|ID Account or Department of Education Profile, please send an e-mail to the Account Administrator.

If you are having problems with your OEDS role, please contact your school district/agency's OEDS administrator.
