This mid-year program is a great educational and networking opportunity! It serves as a refresher for managers on important transportation program elements and it’s highly instructivefor all levels of administrative/supervisory staff in your department. The Workshop will be held in Albany from February 21-22.

NYS Budget Season

The new NYS Budget season is upon us. It is critical that we remind our legislators just how important school transportation is to the millions of riders of school buses. Insist that transportation funding remains solid so that safe, reliable school transportation for the children of New York is never compromised.

We are proud to announce that Nesco Bus has officially become a Platinum Support Certified Dealer.

Thomas Built Buses introduced this comprehensive new service program that focuses on getting your buses out of the shop and back out on the road. Known as Platinum Support, this new program ensures that certified dealers will provide fast turn-around on service and repairs, so you can save time and lower your overall service costs.

Each Platinum Support dealer undergoes rigorous training on how to make their day-by-day business practices even more efficient and, in turn, to provide faster vehicle assessment and repair. The result: reduced downtime and a lower overall life cycle cost on your bus. The Platinum Support dealer service standards greatly exceed industry benchmarks.

By relying on a new Platinum Support certified dealer for repairs, you can be assured of rapid diagnosis, responsive turnaround time, quality service, and consistent communication. And you can count on Platinum Support dealers to have the parts you need on hand, and a highly-trained staff to get the job done right.
