Everything You Want From A Transportation Partner. And More.
Partnering with First Student provides districts, parents and students with the best start and finish to every school day.
Increased Safety
Safety is at the heart of everything we do. With the safest drivers behind the wheel, we meet federal and state standards and often exceed state minimums.
Efficient Routing
Through structured assessments of community specific needs, your district will receive routes that are optimized, safe, tracked, and on-time.
Modern Fleet
We offer preventative maintenance and regular fleet replacements, vehicle pre- and post-checks, buying power, and advanced technology. Looking to take your fleet green? We can help you there too.
Reduced Costs
From wages, administrative costs, and capital to preventative maintenance and routing solutions, districts benefit from fixed-price agreements and enhanced efficiencies.
“We Know We’re Going To Have Clean, Well-Maintained Buses. Courteous, Well-Trained Drivers. And, Kids Picked Up On Time.”
