transportation of public school pupils who are not eligible for transportation services
pursuant to N.J.S.18A:39-1 or any other law, and may require that if the parent, guardian or other person having

then the parent, guardian or other person having legal custody of the child shall

or other person having legal custody of the child shall pay all or a part of the costs
of that transportation, including, but not limited to, the cost of fuel, driver salaries
and insurance. The costs of the transportation shall be paid at the time and in the manner determined
by the board of education or the cooperative transportation services agency, provided
that the parent, guardian or other person having legal custody of the pupil attending
the public or nonpublic school shall pay no more than the per pupil cost of the route
for the transportation provided pursuant to this section. Boards of education shall not receive State transportation aid pursuant to section 15 of P.L.2007, c. 260 ( C.18A:7F-57 ) for the transportation of pupils pursuant to this section; however, the pupils shall
