How Else We’re Evolving With You

You may have also noticed a new look in our print magazine. Starting with the January 2026 issue, we’ve introduced a refreshed look with modernized fonts, brighter colors, and intentional design.

This year marks School Bus Fleet’s 70th anniversary. Founded in 1956, we’re the premier and premiere trade magazine dedicated to the school transportation industry. But these days, we’re much more than a magazine. We’re a full-fledged media brand, with content delivered through print, digital, video, and audio mediums. 

We’re also starting off 2026 with an exciting new initiative on behalf of our parent company, Bobit Business Media. Last week, we launched B2X Rewards, a new incentive program that rewards school transportation professionals for engaging with industry content and suppliers they’re already reading. Head to  TheFleetSource.com to book meetings with industry suppliers and earn points that can be redeemed for conference rewards, including attendee tickets, flights, hotel stays, and more.

“We’ve been with you every step of the way for 70 years and counting,” said Amanda Huggett, executive editor of School Bus Fleet. “We can’t wait to continue covering the amazing work you, our readers, do every day that enhances the safety of our nation’s schoolchildren and transportation teams. Thanks for trusting us with this task.”
