Transportation & Vehicle Maintenance has one goal: Safely transport Kern County Students. It is a joint effort that allows our team to complete the mission of the organization. VM ensures the equipment is in good working order. The instructors focus on keeping drivers well trained. Our office staff collaborates with staff, school site employees and parents.
KCSOS’s Transportation Services department maintains a fleet of 93 school buses, which transport students from home to school in all corners of Kern County. Each day our drivers transport more than 1,000 students to and from over 75 different school sites. In all, 65 bus and private transporter routes are covered totaling over 8,000 miles every day or 1.8 million miles each year.
In addition to providing pupil transportation, the department offers a school bus driver training program, vehicle maintenance and repair services, and field trip and activity program.
