“The experience was wonderful! It was so great to have a time to grow closer to other operators – sharing and hearing their stories of how they overcome daily challenges in the environment we all operate, as well as GREAT success stories they have on the WONDERFUL things happening in all of our school bus operations. I am so thankful we (operators) were able to sit together at the dinner table and grow relationships with these wonderful vendors that are happy to share their products and services that can all help us do our job a little easier each day. SBFX is such a great place to grow together, and a great experience for transportation professionals. Building relationships here is REAL. We met new friends that we can reach out to – both operators and vendors alike – that can support and help us, and we were treated to a great motivational speaker (I could listen to him daily!), wonderful accommodations, and delicious meals.” — Andrew Grasty, Director of Transportation, Metro Nashville Public Schools
“My experience here at SBFX has been a very engaging experience. It has allowed me to network with other colleagues and meet new vendors to find out what’s happening and what’s working in the world of school transportation.” — Keba Baldwin, Director of Transportation, Prince George’s County Schools
“This event was absolutely beautiful. You go to different trade shows, and you go group to group to group. Here, I had an opportunity to sit down, discuss things, talk about your fleet and what your needs are, and make connections for now and for the future. I’m so glad I was invited to this.” — Maurita Simpson, Half Hollow Hills CSD
