Go Green Without Going into the Red.
It’s easy to go green when you choose a bus company that cares about both the environment and your budget.
You’ll like the fact that 100% of our fleet runs on biodiesel fuel and we operate one of the first hybrid school buses in the country. The best part is, we don’t pass along the cost of these green initiatives to you. Your business manager will like our GPS technology, computerized routing and cost-conscious approach to providing contract transportation.
