Groups and employers
Church outings, senior trips, youth organizations and employee shuttles for the businesses along Route 46 and Route 17. Our drivers carry passenger endorsements, so the group does not have to be a school.
From our Little Falls yard to Lodi
Route 46 east runs straight from Little Falls into Lodi in about 20 minutes, with Main Street, Garibaldi Avenue and Terrace Avenue reaching the schools from the highway. For trips, Route 46 continues east to Route 17 and the George Washington Bridge, Route 21 and Route 3 lead to the Meadowlands and the Lincoln Tunnel, and Route 80 is minutes away for trips west.
On the day
Lodi's schools are close together, so a trip that picks up at two buildings is quoted as one run with the stops in order, and the lead driver coordinates arrival at the venue when the group fills more than one bus. Route 46 is the variable on afternoon returns; we time the departure around it and the driver calls the contact if the highway is slow.
What a school bus costs from Lodi
Trips are $124 an hour with a 4-hour minimum, or $100 an hour with a 3-hour minimum for a local trip that runs between 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM on a school day. Fuel, the driver, insurance and dispatch are included; tolls, parking and venue bus fees are passed through at cost and itemized on the quote. Most half-day trips from Lodi fit inside the minimum. Send the date, the group and the two addresses and the written quote, the exact number for your trip, comes back within one business day.

Lodi questions
Can one trip pick up at two Lodi schools?
Yes. Tell us the buildings and the order and the quote lists each stop and time. If the group needs more than one bus, the buses leave together and the lead driver coordinates arrival.
Do you run Lodi summer camp routes?
Yes, daily AM and PM camp routes and camp trips from June through August, with the same driver all summer where the schedule allows. Camp routes should be booked by May.
Who can book: only schools?
Anyone with a group. Schools, PTOs, camps, churches, leagues and employers book the same way. Schools and districts can book on a purchase order; other organizations pay 7 days before the trip date.
