school transportation

Yellow fleet vehicles

School transportation refers to the systems and vehicles used to carry students to and from educational institutions.

In most contexts this means yellow school buses, which are iconic in North America, though it also encompasses walking routes, public transit passes, and specialized transport for students with disabilities.

Districts often have dedicated departments handling routes, schedules, and safety protocols.

The school transportation budget increased due to rising fuel costs.
