Services include school buses (Types A, B, C, D), multifunction student activity buses (MFSABs), and passenger vans across gasoline, diesel, and electric powertrains. Work must be performed entirely off-site at the contractor’s commercial facility; no on-site work is permitted at town-owned property, DPW garages, or public works sites.

Drivers transporting test vehicles must have a valid Class A or B CDL with Passenger (P) and School Bus (S) endorsements.
