We work tirelessly to ensure the peace of mind of those who have entrusted their children to us. Safety, above all, is the cornerstone on which we build everything; we are dedicated to ensuring children arrive to school safely and on time so they can make the most of their school day. Riding the bus to school is a milestone in a child’s life. Young kids eagerly await the time when they are “big enough” to take the bus. Not only are many children fascinated by brightly colored, industrial-sized vehicles – trucks, tractors and fire engines – but riding the bus is also appealing because it’s something a young kid can do to begin experiencing some independence. Along with our sister companies, Petermann (Ohio) and Stock Transportation in Canada, we have teams of experts in every area of student transportation spread across North America. As an international company, we have a wealth of resources available to our customers, and still maintain an unmatched level of local support. We provide customer-focused transportation services including home-to-school, special needs, and field trip transportation, as well as summer and charter trips for districts and organizations across the United States. By partnering with Durham, school districts have experienced increased service and cost efficiencies, safety and training excellence, and access to a wealth of expertise and national, as well as international, resources.
