School transportation in Canada

School bus drivers play a key role in the system. Their job goes beyond simply driving: they are a reassuring presence for the children, welcoming them every morning and seeing them off at the end of the day. Their sense of service and vigilance contribute directly to building lasting trust with families and schools.

School transportation requires extreme attention to safety, both around the vehicle and on board. Transdev teams optimize routes, check the condition of buses before each departure, and ensure the quality of stops, including in rural areas. Rigorous safety checks are an integral part of the daily routine for drivers, who are fully committed to protecting students.

A pioneer in energy transition, Transdev has been investing in a fleet of 100% electric school buses since 2016. Supported by the Quebec government and in partnership with Lion Electric, the company is accelerating the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions while improving air quality for children. Becoming a major player in zero-emission school transportation is part of a sustainable vision for public transportation in Canada.

By getting young people used to using a reliable and safe public service, Transdev is helping to shape future mobility habits. School transportation is much more than just a journey: it is a first contact with sustainable modes of transport, a lesson in safety rules, and an essential part of their daily routine. This commitment is guiding an entire generation towards responsible mobility.
