About First Student
First Student is an industry leader famous for our yellow school buses and service and safety excellence. We have provided student transportation services to schools for over 100 years and are proud to be part of FirstGroup America – the largest provider of safe, reliable, and sustainable surface passenger transportation services in North America.
Together, our 50,000 school buses travel nearly 600 million miles per year. We operate in around 550 locations throughout 38 U.S. states and 8 Canadian provinces, trusted by over 1,400 school districts. Our team of over 55,000 dedicated, caring, and diverse professionals creates a positive school bus experience every day.
Innovation and Safety
We were the first school bus company to utilize global positioning systems (GPS), so at any one time we know where all our buses are and how fast they're traveling. Passionate about safety, we've installed Safety Crossing Gates on the front of all our school buses and use the Child Check-Mate™ electronic reminder system to ensure no sleeping children remain inside a bus at the end of each route.
Our commitment to safety has earned us the National Safety Council's Green Cross for Safety Medal – the highest award for safety in North America. Our safety record is twice as safe as the industry average.
Our Culture
Our culture fosters growth and promotes respect, reliability, responsibility, and safety. We live and breathe our vision and values, recruiting people who share these values to build strong and trusting partnerships in the communities we serve. By doing our job well, we make a positive impact on the lives of millions of students, parents, and local communities.
