Rogers Public Schools Transportation Department's Fleet on Spreadsheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApfH6JfOU09VdGNDcjdnRjBNQUNiUThIMUd4eHlFTmc&usp=docslist_api - Not as specific as far as the history goes, but it's more detailed in the bus specifications itself.
Rogers Public Schools - Rogers, AR: Updated 12-3-2014, 2014-2015 school year, this is the now official list for this school year. I made the well worth it trip over to the Rogers Public Schools Transportation Department on 10-29-2014, where in the shop found a master list of all the buses, their routes, capacities, engines, etc. Which is my up-to-date reference chart. So this is the official list for this school year. There's about 108 buses in our fleet, so it is a big fleet, we've got a huge variety (as far as the big 3 manufacturers are concerned), just thought I'd forewarn you, we run 76 routes. One thing I've noticed about the engine spec trend is a change from DT inline 6 engines in 1992 (at least I remember the old 77 passenger Ward Volunteer that used to be bus 11 had a DT360, good ol' bus, sure do miss it. I think I know who owns it, retired 2 years ago) until 1994, to V8 diesels from 1995 until 2010, now back for the first time in almost 20 years of V8 specs is the inline 6 MaxxForce DT in our 2013 CE's, the newest and I think the last of our International (IC CE) buses (sadly!) added to our fleet, we're making the switch to bigger, roomier, flat nosed front engine buses, look under buses 150-155, under "Trips" for more information. I think the reason they switched back over to inline 6 engines is because they've had problems with the VT365's and some of the MaxxForce 7 engines. I'm going to miss getting new International's, although the move to more larger buses makes sense and is a wise, economical choice. I personally like it... Even if we are getting Thomas', now only if IC Bus didn't get rid of their FE Series... I think we would've got some of those new if they still built them... All of the buses bought after 1999 (our 1999's have yellow tops, that's the last year we spec'd our buses with them, those our also the last of our AmTran branded buses) have white tops, anything prior to that has had yellow tops (except buses 11 & 35, which I think have had repaints, judging by the looks of the cutout of the white paint around the AmTran logo). 2009 was when we first started spec'ing an interior PA system for our buses (no exterior), and 2010 was when we first started spec'ing air features on our buses, for example; air doors, air brakes, and rear air ride suspension systems. We've been spec'ing a PA and air features ever since. Our 2013 International's (IC CE's) have high back seats, an LED sign that's wired up to the warning lights that, when the amber warning lights are activated, it alternately flashes the words, "CAUTION" and "STOPPING". When the reds are activated it alternately flashes the words, "STOP" and "DO NOT PASS". I think those are the 3 new features we have on our newer buses, the sign is a new regulation the state of Arkansas has required for buses 2012 and newer. We have 3 2012 buses but they were built before the new regulations took affect, October 2012. The bus numbers listed here are the numbers affixed to the bus itself, not the route number, which can be different from the bus number, thus making it confusing. If route number is different from the bus number it will be listed below the bus number, the prefix "11-5-" is the state issued number of which all of our buses have. The 2-4 digit number (ex. 1304) is the 11-5-# specific fleet number, the first 1-2 digits is the model year, and the 3rd-4th digit is the individual unit number. Fleet number will be listed as FN # (ex. FN 1308) Bus routes 12, 13, 14, and 15 are Garfield buses (I live out here), instead of being used in town they're out here in the country, plus the drivers get to take them home. The numbers with a dash in front of them don't exist. Alright, enough rambling... This is what I know, which I think is pretty much everything, about our fleet. I don't even work there (Yet!!) and I still know everything about it! How does that work? Haha... Alright, here ya go, I'm done here.

The following buses in the 900's are trip buses (except for bus 917, which is a route bus) the ones in the 100's/1,000's are route buses. But some buses, such as 907-910, 920, 930, 940, and 950 are used as spares when needed. I've ridden buses 902, 904, 905, 907, 909, 910, 920, 930, and 940, and 950.
Now to introduce our newest additions to our fleet... 5 brand new 2015 Thomas EFX's! 2 of these buses are special needs buses (151 & 152). 11-5-151 (712) - 2015 Thomas EFX - 63 passenger - Cummins ISC 6.7L - FN 151 - Used on route 712 11-5-152 (706) - 2015 Thomas EFX - 63 passenger - Cummins ISC 6.7L - FN 152 - Used on route 706 11-5-153 (31) - 2015 Thomas EFX - 83 passenger - Cummins ISC 6.7L - FN 153 - Used on route 31 11-5-154 (51) - 2015 Thomas EFX - 83 passenger - Cummins ISC 6.7L - FN 154 - Used on route 51 11-5-155 (74) - 2015 Thomas EFX - 83 passenger - Cummins ISC 6.7L - FN 155 - Used on route 74
