Demonstrating a commitment to ensuring school buses remain the safest way for students to get to and from school, all six First Student locations in Kansas received perfect scores of 100% on recent state inspections.

The Kansas Highway Patrol inspects school buses before the beginning of every new school year. Troopers check all mechanical aspects and safety features to ensure buses in the state are operating safely.

The First Student locations to receive a perfect score are:

·  Coffeyville

·  De Soto

·  Gardner

·  Lawrence

·  Olathe

·  Wichita
First Student maintains and operates a fleet of nearly 1,100 buses in Kansas. The company’s six locations transport a total of more than 32,000 students in the state every school day.

“We recognize the importance of providing safe and reliable transportation,” said First Student Region Maintenance Manager David Weller. “Earning perfect scores on state inspections shows the dedication of our location teams to the communities we serve. We are proud of our efforts and look forward to continuing our great record of service.”

First Student buses follow a strict daily, monthly and annual vehicle maintenance program. In addition, every driver uses the latest technology to conduct a multi-point inspection at the beginning and end of each route to ensure buses are operating at top conditions.
