When you think of school bus or van drivers, what comes to mind? For many of us, it’s the smiling face of a trusted driver who made sure we got to and from school safely every day. What you may not realize is that women have always played a vital role in student transportation — and today, that role is more important than ever.
At Suburban Bus Transportation, we believe that women bring unique strengths to this profession — from nurturing care and strong communication skills to patience and attention to safety. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom looking to re-enter the workforce, a retired “wonder woman” seeking a flexible and meaningful role, or simply someone looking for a rewarding career that makes a difference in your community, becoming a school bus or van driver could be the perfect opportunity.
Why Driving a School Bus or Van Is a Great Job for Women
Flexibility and Balance
One of the biggest benefits of being a school bus or van driver is the flexible schedule. If you’re raising a family, this job fits beautifully around your children’s school day — giving you time off during the middle of the day, weekends, and holidays. It’s an ideal role for moms who want to work part-time hours while still being available for their family.
A Second Act for Retirees
For women who are recently retired but not ready to slow down, this is a great way to stay active, earn extra income, and remain connected to the community. You’ll enjoy the sense of purpose that comes from helping children get to school safely, while working a schedule that leaves plenty of time for other interests.
Making a Difference Every Day
Driving a school bus or van is more than just a job — it’s an opportunity to be a role model and a caring adult in a child’s life. Many drivers become an important part of the school community, and kids look forward to seeing a familiar, friendly face each day. Knowing that you’re contributing to a child’s safety, well-being, and routine makes this career deeply rewarding.
Supportive Training and Team
At Suburban Bus Transportation, we offer comprehensive training, so you don’t need prior experience to start. You’ll learn everything you need to know to feel confident behind the wheel and handling real-life situations. Plus, you’ll be part of a supportive team that’s always there to help.
