Sollecito's New Role

In Sollecito's new role, he will lead the company's business development strategy, expand partnerships with school districts and industry providers, and support continued growth.

Prior to joining SBL, Sollecito served as a sales consultant at TransAct Communications and Transfinder. He focuses on working with customers to find out what issues they're facing in daily operations and collaborating with the SBL team to determine what solution would improve their services and bottom lines.

Welcoming Lance Osler

Osler brings more than two decades of experience in computerized school transportation routing, implementation, and consulting for school districts across North America. In his role with SBL, he will work with districts to analyze transportation operations and support routing optimization initiatives.

He previously held roles with Education Logistics, VersaTrans Solutions, and Laidlaw (now First Student). His work has included projects with large districts such as Detroit Public Schools, Cincinnati Public Schools, and the Pinellas County School District in Florida.

"Dave has a track record of building strong relationships across the industry, and his promotion reflects the leadership and strategic insight he brings to our organization," said Robert Jacobus, CEO and founder of School Bus Logistics. "We're also excited to welcome Lance, whose experience working with school districts on transportation routing and implementation projects will bring valuable insight to our consulting work."
