Celebrating Our Everyday Heroes

October 19–23 is National School Bus Safety Week, and this year’s theme, “Safe Rides, Everyday Heroes,” could not be more appropriate.

GAPT proudly recognizes and thanks the thousands of school bus drivers across Georgia who begin and end each school day with one important mission — getting our students to school and home safely. Your dedication, professionalism, patience, and commitment to Georgia’s students make a difference every single day.

As we celebrate our drivers and the importance of school bus safety, we also look forward to welcoming our GAPT family to Cartersville October 21–22 for the 2026 GAPT Fall Conference & Trade Show.

It will be a special week for pupil transportation in Georgia — celebrating the professionals behind the wheel while bringing our transportation community together to learn, connect, and continue moving our profession forward.

Thank you to Georgia’s school bus drivers — our Everyday Heroes!
