“Since FirstServes has been added, I think what we see is just a complete culture shift. The drivers feel like they’re a part of the team. Giving the drivers some tools in their toolbox to be able to work with kids, because we know they care about kids, just like anyone who’s working in education.”

“Consistency is so important, and that’s what First Serves offers, is the ability for the bus drivers to support what’s happening in the school…They really wanted to understand what we were doing in Battle Ground Public schools so that they could meet our needs with their resources.”

Tom Adams, Director of Student Services Battle Ground Public Schools

First Student devoted the required resources and was able to meet our expectations with staffing and equipment. They have done an amazing job with recruiting, hiring, and training a sufficient number of drivers to cover our transportation needs.
