School Transportation Support Built Around Your Needs

For nearly two decades, Midwest Educational Transportation Services (METS) has partnered with schools in the Midwest to overcome the challenges of pupil transportation.

We know every district is unique, which is why our team offers flexible service models, expert training, and reliable staffing solutions—never a one-size-fits-all approach.

With METS as your partner, you can:

  • Avoid Route Cancellations
  • Minimize Staff Shortages
  • Reduce Safety Concerns

School Bus Driver Training

Finding qualified trainers can be a challenge. METS provides traveling trainers who deliver on-site, fully compliant, behind-the-wheel instruction using your own buses. This hands-on approach helps new drivers feel confident and keeps students safe.

Temporary To Permanent Staffing Service

Need extra support now, but still want a long-term plan? Our Temporary to Permanent model helps districts address the nationwide driver shortage by providing trained substitutes who can step into permanent roles as positions open. This service is accessible to all public school districts—including those with transportation employees covered under a collective bargaining agreement—creating a reliable pipeline of qualified drivers and staff while supporting your bargaining group.

School Bus Driver Contract Employment Programs

No two districts face the same transportation challenges – so why settle for a one-size-fits-all plan?

METS offers three flexible service models designed to fit the unique needs of your district. From filling positions as they open, to managing your entire transportation department, to providing a complete turn-key solution, we make it simple to get the right level of support.

“The company’s drivers are well-trained, courteous, and attentive to the needs of students and families. While our District still owns the fleet, the company takes pride in ensuring that the vehicles meet all safety and regulatory requirements.
