Transportation
Overview
Welcome to Township High School District 113’s Transportation Department! We take great pride in the services that we provide for our students.
Our school bus drivers, all of whom are District 113 employees, provide safe and efficient transportation on District-owned buses to more than 3,000+ students each week. This includes morning and afternoon routes, early bird routes, a late activity run, and door-to-door transportation for some special-needs students. In addition, District 113 drivers transport students in our transition program, athletes, activity participants, and students and staff attending field trips.
The safety of our students is our number one priority in transportation. Our school bus drivers undergo rigorous training before they are entrusted to transport our students, and each of our drivers begins their day with a pre-trip inspection on their bus. Two in-house mechanics are responsible for maintenance and repairs to the District-owned fleet, which, in addition to the buses, includes tractors, driver’s education vehicles, activity buses, and plowing equipment. This approach is both efficient and cost-effective compared to outsourcing.
We are fortunate to own our own buses and hire our own drivers, which we feel makes our service more personable.
