This special episode of The Route marks two major milestones: Episode 100 of the show and 70 years of School Bus Fleet serving the student transportation industry.

To celebrate this milestone (and debut of season 2), host Amanda Huggett is joined by three former School Bus Fleet editors — Wes Platt, Nicole Schlosser, and Tom McMahon — for a look back at the moments, people, and issues that shaped the industry, and the publication, over the decades.

From alternative fuels and electric school buses to seat belt debates, safety legislation, and the everyday heroism of drivers and transportation professionals, this episode reflects on how far school transportation has come and where it’s headed next.

The Route is sponsored by IC Bus, proudly offering vehicles and solutions that are ahead of their class.

The Route podcast from SCHOOL BUS FLEET covers news and explores issues related to pupil transportation, including new technology, safety features, driver staffing, and industry trends.
