Reliable pickup and drop-off

Private Bus Service for Schools

Parents, students, and school administrators all want the same thing at the start and end of each day — transportation that feels safe and dependable. CIT Signature Transportation has recently expanded its fleet to include school buses, giving private schools a partner they can trust for daily routes and consistent, worry-free travel.

Our private bus service for schools is built on decades of experience moving thousands of students with care. We know what it takes to create efficient routes, manage schedules, support administrators, and keep families confident that their students will arrive ready for the day.

Our roots began in school transportation, which means this isn’t new territory for us. We’ve always understood the responsibility that comes with transporting students. Today, we bring that same attention to detail to private bussing for schools that need daily service. From coordinating pickup times to adjusting routes as enrollment shifts, we work closely with staff to shape a plan that fits the school’s routine without adding work to their plate.

Why Choose Us?

At CIT Signature Transportation, we move people — large groups or small. Adding school buses back into our fleet returns us to our roots. Schools count on us because we show up when we say we will, we communicate clearly, and we partner with them when schedules or needs change.

Our school transportation services are supported by CDL-licensed drivers who understand youth travel and know how to create a welcoming environment. Schools also benefit from our high-staffed sales and customer care team, which is something that sets us apart. We go out of our way to provide the utmost attention and one-on-one support.
