For the second time, School Bus Fleet is gathering insights and perspectives from school bus dealerships in a new survey to uncover the trends, opportunities, and challenges that dealers face in 2025.
We’re also asking about brands, inventory, services, and more. Your input is crucial for our readers to better understand your segment of the industry. This is your chance to share your voice!
The results of this year’s survey will be summarized on our website and in the August issue of the magazine. Don’t worry, we won't identify any dealer participants unless you give permission to include your comments; all responses will be anonymous and reported in aggregate.
As a thank you for your time and insight, all survey participants will receive a FREE e-download of an article written by our editors just for you. Get access to “From Transaction to Trust: How Dealers & Districts Can Build Lasting Relationships” before anyone else after completing the survey.
