Encyclopedia : S : SC : SCH : School bus contractor
A school bus contractor is a private company or proprietorship which provides school bus service to a school district or non-public school. Of 450,000 school buses operating in the United States, it is estimated that approximately 30% are operated by school bus contractors. In Canada and the United Kingdom, almost all school transportation is performed by contractors.
A school bus contractor may range in size from an operator with a single bus to a small company serving a single school or district, to a large multi-national company with as many as 40,000 buses of school bus yellow. Major school bus contractors in the United States and Canada include Laidlaw, First Group, and Durham Transportation.
