Transportation

Welcome to Transportation

Welcome to the Centralia/Chehalis Pupil Transportation Cooperative, the team that gets learning started before the first bell ever rings.

We proudly provide student transportation for Centralia School District and Chehalis School District, safely connecting students to school, activities, and opportunities every single day. Our work supports academic success by making sure students arrive safe, on time, and ready to learn.

Safety isn’t just a requirement for us, it’s our culture. From our drivers behind the wheel to our dispatchers on the radio and mechanics in the shop, every decision we make puts students first.

More Than Just School Buses

As a transportation cooperative, our work goes well beyond daily routes. Our highly skilled mechanics and shop team service not only Centralia’s buses and motor pool vehicles, but also fleets for 10 additional school districts and up to 14 local government and municipal partners, including fire districts.

Every vehicle that comes through our facility is inspected, maintained, and certified to meet or exceed state and federal safety regulations, because reliability and safety don’t happen by accident.

We’re Here to Help

Whether you’re a parent, student, staff member, or community partner, we hope this page provides helpful information and resources to support safe and successful transportation. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, we’re always happy to help.
