About First Student

First Student is an industry leader famous for our yellow school buses and service and safety excellence. For over 100 years, we have provided student transportation services to schools. We are proud to be part of FirstGroup America, the largest provider of safe, reliable, and sustainable surface passenger transportation services in North America.

We safely operate more than one-third of all contracted school buses in North America. Together, our 50,000 school buses travel nearly 600 million miles per year—the equivalent of 1,200 round trips to the moon. We operate in around 550 locations throughout 38 U.S. states and 8 Canadian provinces.

As the first school bus company to utilize global positioning systems (GPS), we know where all our buses are and how fast they are traveling at any one time. Passionate about safety, we have 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 Occupational Excellence Achievement Award from the National Safety Council two years in a row, and FirstGroup received the National Safety Council's Green Cross for Safety Medal, the highest award for safety in North America.

It takes a diverse team of skilled professionals to provide a safe, effective, and efficient student transportation system. From our school bus drivers and location managers to routers, dispatchers, and fleet technician mechanics, the work we do every day makes a big impact on the daily lives of students, parents, local communities, and school district partners. We are an elite team of over 55,000 dedicated, caring, and diverse professionals, and we are the #1 reason we are trusted by over 1,400 school districts.

Our culture fosters growth and promotes respect, reliability, responsibility, and safety. We live and breathe our vision and values, which are embedded in our culture and drive our commitment to our customers and communities. We recruit people who share these values and will work together to build strong and trusting partnerships in the communities we serve. By doing our job well, we make a positive impact on many lives, including the millions of students who travel with us every school day.
