Our Transportation team is dedicated to ensuring that every student's journey to and from school is safe, efficient and dependable. We strive to provide the following for our students, families and community:
 
Prioritizing Safety Above All: 
Every decision we make is centered on keeping students secure on and around the bus
 
Delivering Reliable Service: 
We work to provide consistent and on-time transportation so families can depend on us each day
 
Promoting Efficiency and Sustainability: 
Careful planning and routing, along with the use of cleaner burning propane buses in place of traditional diesel, allowing us to maximize resources while reducing our environmental impact
 
Teaching Safe Habits: 
Through annual safety training, drills, and ongoing reminders, we equip students with skills to ride responsibly. In alignment with Ohio law, all students participate in school bus safety training each year
