     1    Section  1.  Subdivision  7  of  section  3602 of the education law is

     3    f. In addition to any other apportionment under this subdivision,  for
     4  the two thousand seventeen--two thousand eighteen school year and there-
     5  after,  a  school  district  other than a city school district in a city
     6  having a population of one million or more inhabitants shall be eligible
     7  for an  incentive  apportionment  for  providing  shared  transportation
     8  services  to  one  or  more other public school districts. The amount of
     9  such apportionment under this paragraph shall be equal to the product of
    10  (i) the amount of revenue received from another public  school  district
    11  for providing shared transportation services to one or more other public
    12  school  districts  and  (ii)  ten percent. For the purpose of this para-
    13  graph, the commissioner of education shall be authorized to approve  any
    14  contract  for  shared transportation services between one or more public
    15  school districts pursuant to section thirty-six hundred  twenty-five  of
    16  this article and provided a school district claiming an incentive appor-
    17  tionment  under  such contract shall demonstrate cost savings in accord-
    18  ance with guidelines established  by  the  commissioner.  If  the  total
    19  statewide  apportionment  under  this  paragraph  exceeds  three million
    20  dollars ($3,000,000), individual school district  allocations  shall  be
    21  prorated to ensure that the apportionment for such shared transportation
    22  incentive  aid  does  not  exceed  three  million  dollars ($3,000,000),
    23  provided that such prorated apportionment computed  and  payable  as  of
    24  September  one  of the school year immediately following the school year
