Good afternoon and thank you for inviting our association to speak.

My name is Phil Vallone; I am the President of the New York School Bus Contractors Association and owner of Rolling V Transportation services located in Fallsburg, NY.

I am here today representing the New York School Bus Contractors Association; an organization of over 200 private pupil transportation companies providing school bus services to school districts all throughout New York State.

The Governor’s Budget Proposal is focused on making schools more efficient and putting resources back in the classroom.  This is a mission that our organization supports. I hope we can demonstrate to you how we can help the state save money on student transportation services and put those savings back into the classroom…Click here to read the entire speech.
