School Bus Fleet is seeking the top school district fleet in the United States. We've officially launched the 2024 School Bus Fleet Top School District Fleets Survey.
Your responses to our annual survey will help shape a comprehensive picture of the state of student transportation, with data on route mileage, the impact of the driver shortage on your district, expected bus service for the upcoming school year, and more.
What is a Top School District?
SBF measures the top school districts using a few variables, including:
Top 5 School Bus Fleets Based on Route Buses
Top 5 School Bus Fleets Based on Ridership
Top 25 School District Fleets
We'll use your responses to our questions related to various aspects of pupil transportation management to guide our coverage, so we can write about the factors influencing your fleet.
Responses should be submitted no later than Aug. 12, 2024. We'll share results in upcoming issues of School Bus Fleet.
To show our appreciation, the first 100 qualifying respondents get $5 Starbucks eGift cards!
