Our core mission is to transport our children to and from their centers of learning in a safe, timely, efficient, and academically supportive manner.
The SLPS Transportation Department transports over 23,000 students each school year. We serve the district from two bus compounds, South County Compound (SCC) and North County Compound (NCC).

Our Bus Drivers & Aides & Bus Mechanics are regulated by local, state, and federal laws. Each year our staff undergo training to ensure we remain compliant with all regulations. School bus stops are strictly regulated by laws. Procedures to load and unload the students are also regulated by laws.

All SLPS Bus Stops are created and strategically placed in the safest, most centralized position for all eligible riders. All stops are in accordance with state and district guidelines with safety, timeliness, and efficiency in mind.
We are proud to be industry leaders across the nation in safety equipment on our buses. Each bus is equipped with two-way radios and is monitored by on-board cameras and satellite tracking devices.
