The Largest Mass Transit System in the United States

Last week, the ROUSH CleanTech team spent several days with our “extended family.” Our exclusive school bus partner, Blue Bird, hosts an annual dealer meeting to share successes from the past year and — more importantly — discuss strategic initiatives for the year ahead.   

It’s a true gift to be a part of so many family-owned businesses that are making a difference in the lives of children every day. In fact, our amazing extended family has grown to 200,000!

  • 2,000 Blue Bird teammates
  • 2,000 dealer personnel
  • 3,000 supplier partners
  • 3,000 delivery drivers
  • 40,000 school district members
  • 150,000 bus drivers

Blue Bird is the only school bus manufacturer that brings a full suite of alternative fuel solutions to the market. Our shared commitment to reducing harmful emissions in a financially sustainable way has helped bring cleaner air to 1.3 million students and more than 1,100 communities around the nation. The results so far are staggering: 22,000 Roush-powered propane school buses have saved districts more than $1 billion dollars and displaced millions of pounds of harmful emissions such as NOx and particulate matter from the environment.

At the meeting, we doubled down on our commitment to continue to innovate with solutions that will keep children, drivers, technicians and the communities in which they operate safe for years to come.

Have a great Thanksgiving and see you in December!
