    We are committed to the safe transport of your child!

     

  • About Us

    Each year, 860 buses transport approximately 48,000 students on more than 3,600 daily trips. The buses travel approximately 10 million miles annually. Duval is ranked #1 in the state of Florida for the newest fleet. 

     

    How We Work

    We contract with external bus companies to manage transportation services for the school district. These bus companies are Durham School Services and Student Transportation of America (STA).
