Petermann Bus

Petermann provides safe and reliable transportation to students across the United States, transporting more than 84,000 students daily. With our expertise and nationwide resources, you will no longer have to worry about: new bus capital, routing issues, bus breakdowns or the recruitment and training of drivers.

There is nothing more important to us than safety, one of our core values. Our safety program is comprehensive, from hiring and employee recognition to daily protocols and procedures, in order to ensure all your students are safe at all times when in our care.

An effective safety program must encompass all aspects of transportation, including operations, training, maintenance, and administration, while remaining focused on people, students, employees and the public. Our number one responsibility is to protect against harm and to give our customers the confidence that we will provide safe and reliable service every day.

We are industry leaders when it comes to maintaining our buses to ensure passenger safety. Our safety begins with safe vehicles. Our 13-touchpoint pre and post-trip inspection is industry-leading. We monitor both vehicle maintenance and perform diligent child checks using state-of-the-art Zonar® technology.

Our school district partners benefit from our nationally recognized preventive maintenance program. Our industry-leading preventive maintenance schedule goes above and beyond government requirements. Every school day, our drivers do a multi-point inspection before and after each route to check for maintenance issues that need immediate attention. In addition, all buses are subject to comprehensive preventive maintenance inspections at least three times a year. This is above and beyond government requirements. All inspections include examining everything from cosmetic issues to checking tires, brakes, engine performance and suspension.
