The New York School Bus Contractors Association is an organization comprising over two hundred school bus companies, also known as school bus contractors, with the primary mission of promoting safe, reliable and cost-effective student transportation services in New York State.
Formed in 1950, the New York School Bus Contractor Association has a proud and accomplished tradition of serving as the voice of school bus contractors, dealerships, manufacturers and suppliers on issues of common interest at the state capital and beyond.
Ensuring every child reaches their destination safely, without incident and on time is a responsibility that the industry takes very seriously and that is why the New York School Bus Contractors Association works tirelessly to ensure every contractor has access to proper education tools, training resources and industry-specific technology.
Private school bus companies are responsible for safely transporting over 1.3 million children a day, in approximately 28,000 school vehicles, in over 350 school districts — representing nearly sixty percent of the students transported in New York State.

Safety & Maintenance Workshop
March 25, 2010 - 15th National Congress on School Transportation
- May 16, 2010 at 07:00pm
University of Central Missouri - Warrensburg, MO
Since 1939 the National Congresses (formerly Conferences) on School Transportation have been held periodically with the primary objective of ensuring safe, efficient transportation for school children. Since 1980 the 300-plus delegates from around the country who comprise the NCST have convened each five years. The 15th NCST will meet in May 16-19, 2010, in Warrensburg on the campus of the University of Central Missouri.
The delegates will deliberate and adopt proposed updates to the 2005 National School Transportation Specifications and Procedures (NSTSP). The Specifications and Procedures are the primary purpose and product of the Congresses, comprising the delegates’ formal recommendations for vehicles, equipment, and operational practices that contribute to the objectives of safety and efficiency. As stated within the introduction to the NSTSP, its intended use is that “the specifications for school buses and procedures for operation are available for states to consider when establishing their standards, specifications, recommendations, and guidelines.”
