Student Transportation Services Provider

Seattle School District No.1 is a first-class District and is the largest public school District in Washington state. The District serves approximately 50,000 students with attendance at over 100 schools and provides public education for students in preschool through grade twelve, including services for general education, career and technology education, and students with special needs. Transportation is provided to a widely diverse student population where up to 158 languages and dialects are spoken.
The District encompasses 84 square miles, including the entire geographic area of the City of Seattle. The District is seeking proposals for school bus transportation for more than 18,000 students to and from school, in addition to transportation for various programs, field trips, and athletics.
The awarded Contractor will work in conjunction with District staff to provide point-to-point transportation for students using regular routes and special transportation to and from school, athletics programs, and field trips. The District requires on-time performance, with a strong focus on safety, equity, customer service, advanced integrated technology, and quality bus drivers. A school bus driver is often the first and last school representative in contact with students and families. The District intends to identify and select a contractor who shares our core values and offers competitive compensation packages that attract and retain a fully staffed team of skilled drivers and associated operational and management staff.
