Transportation services built for you.
Durham brings together the people, vehicles, routes, systems and local support required to operate a safe, reliable student transportation program.
One transportation program. Many moving parts.
Reliable student transportation depends on more than a bus and a driver. Routing, staffing, maintenance, safety, dispatch, technology and communication must work together as one connected system.
Durham coordinates those responsibilities through dedicated local teams backed by shared expertise and resources from across the Summit School Services network. The result is a more connected operation with clear accountability and support where districts need it most.
Daily Student Transportation
Home-to-school routes are the foundation of our operations. Durham supports route planning, driver recruitment and training, vehicle maintenance, dispatch and day-to-day service coordination to help students get to school safely and reliably.
District partners receive the attention of a responsive local team, supported by systems and resources designed to improve visibility and performance.
Special Education Transportation
Each student’s transportation needs are different. Durham works closely with district teams to plan service around individual requirements, including routing, vehicle and equipment needs, staffing and communication.
Specially trained drivers and monitors bring consistency, patience and attention to detail to each ride — helping create a transportation experience that supports the student’s school day.
Charter Services
Durham Charter Services provides group transportation for field trips, athletic events, summer programs, corporate events and private outings.
Experienced drivers, well-maintained vehicles and dedicated trip planning help take the complexity out of moving groups safely and efficiently.

Designed for the way your district operates.
Every transportation program has different routes, policies, staffing conditions, fleet needs and community expectations. Durham begins by understanding the current operation and the district’s priorities.
From there, we work with district leaders to define the service model, responsibilities, transition plan and performance expectations. Local policies and goals remain central while Durham supplies the operational structure and expertise to put the plan into action.
Local accountability. Broader resources.
Day-to-day service is managed by people who know the district and community. Those local teams are backed by expertise from across Summit School Services in areas such as safety, workforce development, fleet management and technology.
That structure allows Durham to remain responsive at the local level while drawing on broader experience when challenges or opportunities arise.
