School Bus Fleet is gathering crucial insights and perspectives from school bus dealerships through a poll to gauge which brands are represented and what challenges dealers are facing in the industry in 2023.
With a focus on customer service, product selection, dealership support, and technology, the poll provides an avenue for dealerships to voice their opinions and contribute to shaping the future of the industry. School Bus Fleet hopes to identify areas for improvement and facilitate collaboration between dealerships and other stakeholders in the school transportation ecosystem.
The results of the poll will be carefully analyzed to identify trends, challenges, and opportunities in the marketplace. We'll share general data from the responses, but won't identify any participants specifically unless they give permission.
