    Description
    With the challenges of increasing enrollment, the LRSD wants to maintain, implement, administer and provide a safe, efficient, cost-effective transportation system that meets the needs of eligible students, parents/guardians, schools and staff.

    With respect to the delivery of transportation services to our students, the LRSD will consider qualified and quality bus operators with a demonstrated safety and service record as paramount. At the same time, it is necessary to provide quality service while being fiscally responsible to ratepayers and stakeholders in education.

    • 72 - 78 Passenger School Buses
    • 14 – 24 Passenger School Buses with wheelchair, minimum two stations
