The School Transportation Century I f the 18 th century is considered the period of school transportation infancy and the 19 th century is the period of the industry's adolescence, the 20 th century saw the evolution of a fully developed, mature industry.

Throughout the last 100 years, the industry provided more than an estimated 500 billion student rides as the ranks of students being transported swelled to nearly 55 percent of all K-12 students. As the century drew to a close, the Yellow School Bus has replaced the Little Red Schoolhouse as the symbol of K-12 public education in the United States. There is scant indication that transportation by yellow school bus will diminish during the 21 st century.
