Despite many changes occurring over the years, school bus transportation still remains a locally managed operation, specifically because the management of those operations directly serve the community they are located in. The majority of school districts still manage their own school bus transportation services internally, but a growing number of districts are choosing to outsource their operations as well.

Some of the reasons a school district may choose to outsource their school bus transportation are:

  • Reduction in operating costs
  • Benefit and retirement cost savings
  • Budget cut requirements
  • Reduction in district transportation needs
  • Loss of internal industry knowledge and experience
  • Reduction in liability risk
  • Eliminate driver recruitment, hiring and training costs

If a district is considering outsourcing all or part of their transportation management services, it is important that they find a partner that will continue the connection with the local community and value the importance of providing the district, staff and families with the highest levels of safety and customer service.
