Transportation Department

The Transportation Department of St. Louis Public Schools is committed to providing SAFE and Efficient transportation service for all eligible riders.

We cover approximately 540 miles on a daily basis. We drive approximately 10,000 miles per bus and 100,000 plus total miles per year.

The department consists of: 9 full time and 3 part-time professional drivers, 1 coordinator, and 1 director/mechanic. 

All drivers must have:

  • A commercial drivers license

  • Pre-employment Department of Transportation physical

  • Pre-employment drug test

  • Criminal background check

  • Fingerprint

  • Driver license record check

  • Mandatory Michigan Department of Education training

  • Secretary of State approved “third party” road test

  • Subject to random drug and alcohol testing

Our bus fleet is well maintained, and is inspected annually by the Michigan State Police inspectors.

Appropriate behavior is expected by all passengers. Any behavior that distracts the driver is unacceptable.

School bus transportation service is a privilege that will be taken away if any unacceptable behavior occurs.
