  Annual Convention Information

  The New York School Bus Contractors Association  (NYSBCA) was founded in 1950 and represents over two hundred companies involved in the pupil transportation industry, operating over 22,000 school vehicles in New York State and transporting over two million children each day, for a total of 100 million miles yearly.  NYSBCA will be holding its 56^th Annual Convention October 15-17, 2010 at the Montauk Yacht Club located in Montauk, New York on the tip of Long Island.

  About the Convention:

  In the beginning of 2009, NYSBCA decided to promote its “Go Green, Ride Yellow” campaign.  The association has been working hard on getting children on school buses.  As you know, the yellow bus is not only the safest mode of transportation, but for every full school bus, it takes 36 personal vehicles off the road.  With today’s economy, NYSBCA has also been pushing the importance of not only keeping or getting children on the school bus, but we’ve been trying to educate NY school personnel about the cost-savings private transportation can provide.  The focus of this year’s convention will be on what school bus options are available, what expenses we see in the future and how privatizing school transportation can save districts money.  Join us for cutting edge information and take time to mingle with old friends and meet new ones.

  About the Area

  Long Island is the largest and longest island in the United States. A large body of water, the Peconic Bay, splits the eastern end to form two narrow peninsulas, commonly referred to as two forks. At Montauk, the extreme tip of the South Fork, the northern side opens to the waters of Block Island Sound with the Atlantic Ocean on the southern side.   For more information and Montauk history, go online to www.onmontauk.com.
