Transportation
Studies show riding a bus is the safest way for children to get to and from school. It’s safer than walking, riding a bike, or even riding in the family car. School buses are designed to be safer than passenger vehicles in avoiding crashes and preventing injury.
For this reason, Brooks School Summer Programs offers convenient one-way and round-trip transportation throughout the Merrimack Valley and North Shore. This service provides families with a convenient and reliable option when making plans for the summer.
At Brooks, we recognize that putting your child on a bus requires a great deal of trust. When choosing to utilize our transportation service, you can be confident that we put your child’s safety first.
Our approach to safety is multi-layered, which is why we have partnered with NRT Transportation. NRT invests in training, technology, and equipment to ensure that they exceed industry standards.
