• School buses are 9 times safer than private cars—national statistics show that school buses are the safest vehicles on our roads and highways.
• Outstanding drivers—because safety is the top priority of the OES transportation team, our drivers are screened, well-trained, licensed, and, most important, caring.
• OES vehicles are maintained to strict State of Oregon standards.

• On-time pick-up and delivery—every school day, OES buses arrive on schedule to deliver students to class on time, and provide the same reliable service home after school.
