Benefits of  ASTSBC Membership

Change is a constant in this fast moving world and the school bus industry is not exempt.  With our industry, not staying current and failing to keep informed can literally be a matter of life or death when it comes to the safety of our student passengers.  Not knowing or being unaware of changes in the industry, legislation and regulations governing school buses, technological advances in equipment, and special needs practices is not a valid excuse in the courts.  Now more than ever, in these difficult economic times, it is crucial to get the right answers and advice from transportation specialists and practitioners to help cope with information overload on issues big and small.

ASTSBC can help provide you with this information, and more, through its professional development sessions at conferences, speakers from industry and regulatory agencies, personal contact with both new and experienced colleagues, from district operations, contractors, suppliers or government.  

The greatest asset our Association has is the relationships that our members have with each other and with the governing bodies.  To be able to call someone who understands your problems is invaluable. No other time in history has there been a greater need to come together with other people in the same business.

     >>   Public school transportation and facility operators
     >>   Independent school transportation operators
     >>  School district administrators
