Solving Driver Shortages
Fleet Lab targeted recruiting attracts many more van driver candidates than searching for traditional school bus drivers. Our focused training reduces the time required to place fully qualified drivers into driver's seats.
Reducing Fuel & Vehicle Expenses
Rightsizing and electrifying can save over 90% in fuel expense. Our vans also cost less to purchase and less to maintain compared to traditional school buses.
Reducing Student Travel Time
Students are busy with school, extra-curricular activities, part time jobs and sleep. Spending 2-3 hours per day traveling to and from school negatively impacts their quality of life and ability to thrive.
Enrolling additional students
Optimized routes and flexible transportation options help enroll students who live far from school or face commuting challenges. By improving accessibility, more students can attend school reliably and on time.
Ensuring Safety
The convenience of our mixed fleet system increases ridership, which increases safety for the entire student population. We also employ vehicles with state of the art safety systems, within a system that minimizes drive time, minimizes roadside pickups and minimized dark pick ups and dropoffs.
