NYAPT Winter Workshop

The Winter Workshop is a NYAPT tradition, bringing key school transportation information and knowledge to supervisors and managers of school bus operations. 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.
