Strategies to Grow as a Student Transportation Professional

Starting a new student transportation role can feel like trying to drive a bus on a route you’ve never been on before. Here are practical strategies for tackling the hurdles of a new transportation role:

Engage Stakeholders

Involve all stakeholders including, drivers, dispatchers, and school administration in the decision-making process.

Tie Actions to Long-Term Goals

Understand the goals of the transportation department so short-term actions align with the broader vision.

Streamline Communication

Schedule check-ins regularly, establish communication channels, and keep all stakeholders informed.

Leverage
Data

Monitor on-time performance, safety, and efficiency metrics to inform decisions and recommendations.

Data reveals patterns, inefficiencies, and inequities. When you present it clearly, it’s hard to argue with, and that’s what drives real change.
