Looking to Drive a School Bus? 

If you have an interest in working with children and youth, driving a school bus may be the right job for you.  Approximately 18,000 school buses travel two million kilometers in Ontario every school day.  These trained professionals provide 300 million safe rides during the school year.  You could play an important role in student transportation.  Positions are ideal for retirees, parents and the self-employed.  Learn more about  how you can drive a school bus in Ontario or view current employment opportunities posted by OSBA member companies.
