About First Student
As the leading student transportation services provider for school districts in North America, First Student provides the best start and finish to every school day. Our teams complete approximately 4.8 million student journeys each day. We operate more than 48,000 vehicles in 42 U.S. states and 8 Canadian provinces/territories as of March 31, 2026. What makes First Student the right choice for your school district's needs? Our partnerships: We believe great transportation is always the result of close, trusted partnerships with the school districts we serve. Understanding that needs change sometimes throughout the school year, our goal is to remain responsive to your district's needs. We work closely with school districts to ensure the transportation solutions we provide represent a collective, forward-thinking response to the needs of your district and community. Our engagement: We believe education offers a child – and their family – the foundation needed to lead a productive and successful life. We support education by making sure children have a safe and reliable way to get to and from school each day. Students start and end their school days with us, and we recognize the opportunity we have to impact each student’s day in a positive manner. Our people: Our people are our advantage. With a team of highly-trained drivers, we’re able to leverage the best practices, technologies and processes needed to deliver quality, consistent service.
