School Transportation

School Transportation

Daily rides for students across the North Shore. Bay State Transportation (BST) runs two kinds: a ride you arrange for your own child, and route work under contract for school districts and programs.

Bay State Transportation (BST) drives students two ways. A parent books a ride for one child, pays per ride, and sets the schedule with us directly. A district or program contracts routes for the school year. Same company, different booking. School transportation is one of BST's four services.

For Families

Student Transportation for Families

A daily ride for your child, booked directly with BST. One written quote, priced per ride.

For Districts and Programs

BST runs student routes under contract for school districts, charter schools, and programs: daily AM and PM routes on the school calendar, after-school pickup, field trips, out-of-district placements, and special-needs and one-to-one student transport. School routes run with 7D drivers. Wheelchair-accessible vans with lifts run in the same fleet.

Send the routes, the calendar, and any special requirements and we reply with a written proposal.

FAQ

  • Do you drive for individual families or only for schools?

    Both. Parents book a ride for their own child; districts and programs contract routes for the school year. See student transportation for families for the family side.

  • How do I get a price?

    Parents: send the details listed on the family page and we reply with a written quote. Districts and programs: send the routes and the calendar through Request a Proposal above.
