The Ohio Preservice School Bus Driver Training Program has been nationally awarded for the quality of its instruction and for the significant role it plays in the safety of Ohio’s school bus riders.

New school bus drivers must successfully complete the Ohio Preservice School Bus Driver Training Program as required by the Ohio Department of Education.

Every six years, veteran school bus drivers must complete a recertification process including classroom time through this program.

This program is managed regionally through eight instructors covering the entire state of Ohio in various regions.
