The Office of Pupil Transportation professionals play a crucial role in our students’ education. OPT not only is responsible for precious cargo, our team connects children with classrooms, helps the developing athletes achieve progress in their sport of choice and assists students discover neighborhoods and communities by providing transportation to and from field trips and special events. In addition to daily transportation services, our team links our students to in district sponsored after school programs and events. There are lots of moving parts in Pupil Transportation!

Our average Omnibus Operators has over ten years of transportation experience and all of our drivers participate in an extensive safety training program. Our team also performs regularly scheduled and ongoing vehicle maintenance checks to ensure our internal fleet of school buses are in the best operating condition.

Transportation services for students with special needs who meet eligibility requirements, some of our schools’ athletic events and selected field trips are provided by vendor bus companies and are arranged through the services of a management company. The District mandates that our vendor buses and personnel undertake mandated safety training and that vendor buses follow state and federal safety guidelines.

Whether transportation services is facilitated by the Newark Public Schools or by a vendor bus company, it is OPTs core value to provide safe, timely and efficient transportation services for all Newark students who are eligible for transportation services!
