What their customers say

Quotes from people at First Student's customers.

“From a customer service standpoint, from my perspective, First Student hit the mark dead on. First Student has delivered what we’ve asked First Student to deliver.”

John Pazuaskas · Board of Education President

“Since implementing FirstActs, the timeliness of addressing behavior issues on the bus has shown significant improvement.”

Mark Bohl · First Student Location Manager · Normal, IL

“If we cannot do it safely, then we’re not going to do it at all. We have complete togetherness; complete teamwork in everything that we do.”

Oliver Humbles · bus driver

“The work was a tremendous undertaking, as we have been utilizing the same routing approach for 31 years, but knew we could improve. Besides costs savings, the process was efficient and seamless, with significant results.”

Doreen T. Munsell · Executive Director of Finance and Business Services

“The logistics of running 600 buses every day is no small feat, but starting up the location for the first time was a huge undertaking. The logistics going into that were very complicated, and very challenging.”

““First Solutions earned a 10 out of 10! We would definitely recommend working with First Solutions.””

Richard Long · Director of Facilities Support and Transportation · VCSC

““This is an actual program that is changing behavior in a positive way. They are not just saying that drivers are being safer or that drivers are taking their time, they can show you the fast accelerations, those quick stops, the speeding, it’s not happening as much””

Curt Saindon · Assistant Superintendent for Business Serves · Woodbridge High School

““We’re more than satisfied and we do consider this a true partnership.””

Bob Malkowski · District Operations Manager · NASD

““Money was a catalyst for us. We found we would save a million dollars a year for five years when we first signed the contract. One of the things we have always prided ourselves on is the safety and care of our students. No matter how much money we saved, if we thought we would have to sacrifice safety, we wouldn’t have done it.””

Jim Palm · Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services · Berrien Regional Education Service Agency (RESA)

“I don’t think that there is a better company out there that spends more time in relationship to safety and customer service than First Student.”

Eddie Kindle · Assistant Superintendent

“We felt that First Student had the best product and service at the most advantageous price for the benefit of our students. At Buffalo Public Schools, we see ourselves as progressive and this is a way for the district to offer our students the utmost safety and comfort.”

Al Diamico · Director of Transportation

“The community is a big part of who we are and what we do on a daily basis. We need to be in touch with what’s going on out there. We not only participate in school functions, but outside functions, as well.”

Kim Paternoster · First Student Location Manager
