About the Transportation Department

The Worcester Public Schools began operating all of its own school buses in the 2022-23 school year, ending its prior reliance on a third-party company.

In the first year of all in-house operations, email complaints about service dropped 76%, from 843 complaints in FY22 to 203 in FY23. Additionally, transportation costs were reduced by $5 million.

The successful transition received statewide and national recognition: WPS was honored with the 2023 Donald D. Johnson Operational and Cost Efficiency Award from the Massachusetts Association of School Business Officials (MASBO); WPS also received the 2023 Pinnacle Award from the national Association of Business Officials (ASBO).

In 2024, WPS purchased 15 electric school buses with financial grant support from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The buses are expected to be online in 2026 after the Transportation Yard builds out electric vehicle charging stations and related infrastructure. The introduction of electric buses marks a step forward in meeting the City of Worcester's Green Worcester Plan, which aims to make Worcester one of the most sustainable and climate-resilient cities by 2050.

The WPS Transportation Department works closely with MassHire to recruit, hire, and pay for training for new school bus drivers.
