As the leading pupil transportation solutions provider for school districts in North America, First Student provides the best start and finish to every school day. Our teams complete five and a half million student journeys each day, moving more students than all U.S. airlines combined. We operate more than 44,500 vehicles in 41 U.S. states and 8 Canadian provinces/territories. What makes First Student the right choice for your school district's needs? Our partnerships: We believe great transportation is always the result of close, trusted partnerships with the school districts we serve. Understanding that needs change sometimes throughout the school year, our goal is to remain responsive to your district's needs. We work closely with school districts to ensure the transportation solutions we provide represent a collective, forward-thinking response to the needs of your district and community. Our engagement: We believe education offers a child – and their family – the foundation needed to lead a productive and successful life. We support education by making sure children have a safe and reliable way to get to and from school each day. Students start and end their school days with us, and we recognize the opportunity we have to impact each student’s day in a positive manner. Our people: Our people are our advantage. With a team of highly-trained drivers and the industry’s strongest safety record, we’re able to leverage the best practices, technologies and processes needed to deliver quality, consistent service.

🚗The Power of Consistency in Student Transportation🚗 At FirstAlt, we believe that consistency is a foundation for student success. Did you know that having the same driver every day creates a sense of security for students, especially those with special needs? Our "same driver, every student, every day" approach isn't just a tagline...it's how we build trust. This consistency allows: ✅Drivers to recognize behavioral patterns and adapt accordingly ✅Students to feel comfortable with familiar faces ✅Parents to have peace of mind knowing who's transporting their children ✅Schools to rely on predictable arrival and departure times When transportation is consistent, students arrive at school ready to learn rather than stressed from an unpredictable commute. As we continue to develop our complete K-12 transportation solution, we remain committed to our first priority: caring for students.
