Safety Is Our First Priority

Parents choose Alltown Bus because of our uncompromising commitment to student safety. Every driver and staff member follows strict safety procedures that meet and exceed industry standards.

Key safety measures include:

• Comprehensive driver training in defensive driving, student management, and emergency preparedness
• Daily bus inspections to ensure vehicles are in top condition
• GPS tracking for accountability and route efficiency
• Child check systems so no student is ever left behind
• Two-way radios for constant communication with dispatch

By combining modern technology with professional training, we give parents and schools peace of mind.

Professional & Caring Drivers

Our drivers aren’t just employees—they’re trusted professionals who care deeply about the students they transport. Each driver undergoes:

• Rigorous background checks
• Licensing and safety certification
• Ongoing refresher training
• Hands-on experience with consistent routes

Because drivers are often the first and last school staff members a child sees each day, we select individuals who demonstrate patience, kindness, and responsibility.
