At First Student, every ride is more than just transportation. It’s a chance to make a meaningful difference. 💙

We recently received a heartfelt message from the family of one of our students, Joshua, sharing the incredible impact one of our drivers, Manny, from our Riverside, California location, has had on their son’s life.

“Joshua lights up when he sees Manny each day, and the trust and connection they’ve built mean the world to our family,” Joshua’s mom shared. “Manny treats him with kindness and respect, and we are so grateful for the care he shows every day.”

Through compassion, communication, and genuine care, Manny exemplifies what our First Serves program is all about: creating meaningful relationships, supporting students as individuals, growing confidence in our drivers, and helping every child feel safe, understood, and supported on their journey to and from school.

Thank you, Manny, for the difference you make each and every day. 🚌

Our friend Safety Dog has been busy the past few weeks! 🐶🚌

From Michigan to Colorado to Iowa, Safety Dog brought school bus safety to life through fun, interactive experiences. Across school visits, a Touch-A-Truck event, and Safety Dog Bus Tour stops, students and families had the chance to meet Safety Dog, explore the bus, and take part in hands-on safety activities.

Thank you to our First Student teams, school district partners (Ames Community School District, Maple Pride, and Tecumseh Public Schools), and communities for helping make these events a success. We love finding fun ways to bring safety learning to life for students everywhere! 💛

Safety, skill, and teamwork were on full display at the 44th Annual Alberta Bus Road-eo! 🚌👏

Our Grande Prairie and Edmonton First Student locations proudly co-hosted the event in Stony Plain, Alberta, welcoming 80 participants and volunteers from across the region.

The Bus Road-eo is an annual competition that highlights the professionalism, safety skills, and expertise required to safely transport students every day.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success, and best of luck to all drivers advancing to Provincials in Nisku, Alberta next month! 💙
