Our team in Elizabethtown, PA proudly welcomed a large group of new members to their 100 Club, a form of recognition awarded to drivers in front of their peers for achieving perfect operating scores for the month. In addition to bragging rights, each team member receives a pin and a certificate of achievement. Additionally, team members with consecutive qualifying months of perfect service receive even more prizes along the way, such as a company jacket. “We have one driver who has been part of the 100 club for 14 months and two drivers who have received the recognition for 13 months,” said Safety Training Supervisor Tina. “We have a fabulous group of drivers.” And this photo only shows part of the group – 10 award-winning drivers are missing!

We were very proud to support Shawn Johnson East during her recent Today in L.A. appearance, where she spoke about the benefits of electric school buses. We'd also like to give a special thank you to our driver, Sobeida, for their safe and excellent driving skills.
Shawn Johnson East recently joined Today in L.A. to share why she partnered with Highland in the lead-up to the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic Games, and her message couldn’t have been clearer. As she put it, “taking away the emissions, diesel and the exhaust, giving them a safer environment is a perfect fit.” In 2028, 500 Highland electric school buses will help transport the people who power the Olympic and Paralympic experience, including the staff, volunteers, and officials who make the Games possible. We’re proud to support a cleaner and quieter ride for the backbone of LA28! #LA28 #ElectricSchoolBuses #FleetInnovation #Olympics #Paralympics

We are extremely proud to congratulate John BeGasse, Vice President of Business Development, for being honored with the Roger Weeks Contractor of the Year Award by the New York School Bus Contractors Association (NYSBCA) for his excellence and dedication to student transportation. As part of NYSBCA, John has represented Durham and served on the board since 2019 to provide his insight and expertise on the developments of the student transportation industry and has also participated in lobbying and advocating for safe and reliable student transportation. Thanks, John, for your contributions and dedication to student transportation! “The New York Contractor of the Year award is an amazing honor to receive. The New York School Bus Contractors Association is on the front lines of so many issues facing our industry today. Issues range from seat belts to alt fuel, electric vehicles, the use and regulation of alternative transportation providers, driver training and vehicle maintenance standards, to name a few. Working with this very talented and involved group has been one of the highlights of my life. To be at the table as the vital issues of our industry are discussed and to be able to participate in that discussion is a truly humbling experience.” - John BeGasse, Vice President of Business Development https://bit.ly/43AI7P1

Their story reflects what Durham values most: community, dedication, and the power of family. 🚌 🔗 Read their journey: https://loom.ly/OgXDv7M #schoolbusfleet #schoolbusnews #studenttransportation #schoolbuses #durhamschoolservices

Our location in Antioch, IL, loves any opportunity to get their team together – and this most recent opportunity was an especially good one! Hosting a PB&Js day, team members were invited to a safety meeting focused on awareness of Pedestrians, Bikers, Joggers, and Scooter Riders (PB&Js), so as a team, they can help keep every road user safer. Compliments of our safety team, employees were also welcome to receive a free PB&J-branded ChapStick for the chilly days ahead!
