Pennsylvania School Bus Association - PSBA

Our hearts are with Barry Barker and the entire Lodestar Bus Lines family following the tragic loss of a dedicated school bus mechanic.

We are grateful for the mechanics who work behind the scenes to help keep school transportation vehicles safe every day. Please join us in keeping Barry, the Lodestar Bus Lines family, and all those affected by this heartbreaking loss in your thoughts and prayers.

Congratulations to our PSBA contractor members who were awarded funding through PennDOT’s School Bus Safety Grant Program!

Working directly with PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll and the PennDOT team, PSBA helped establish this initiative to invest in school transportation and address the ongoing need for qualified school bus drivers.

Once the program was announced, PSBA ensured our members were among the first to know by sharing application details and providing guidance to help strengthen their submissions.

We’re proud to see so many of our members receive this funding, which will help recruit and train new school bus drivers and keep Pennsylvania students safe.

Congratulations to all of the recipients, and thank you to Secretary Mike Carroll, PennDOT, and the Shapiro Administration for partnering with PSBA to make this investment in school transportation possible.

One of the most meaningful traditions of the PSBA Annual Convention is the election of the Association’s leadership during the Annual Membership Meeting.

After two years of exceptional service, Aaron Sepkowski of Pocono Transportation officially passed the gavel and will transition to the role of Immediate Past President. We proudly welcome David Schrantz of Rohrer Bus Service as the new President of the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for the next two years.

Congratulations, David, and thank you, Aaron, for your outstanding leadership and dedication to advancing Pennsylvania’s school transportation industry.

One of our favorite parts of the PSBA Annual Convention and Tradeshow is highlighting families that have been in School Transportation for 25, 50 or 75 years! This year we were honored to celebrate 50 years with Rockwood Transportation Inc. in Rockwood, PA.
