RIDE Joins NAPT in Celebrating Love the Bus Month

PASADENA, CA (February 3, 2026) — RIDE is proud to join the National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) in celebrating Love the Bus Month. It begins Feb. 1 and sets the stage for recognizing the dedicated professionals who ensure students safely arrive to school every day in a yellow school bus.

School transportation provides communities with opportunity and access to education. RIDE battery-electric school buses are deployed at districts nationwide and give communities access to new technologies, increased student safety, and cleaner, quieter rides for children. RIDE appreciates the drivers, technicians and leaders who make student transportation possible.

“Love the Bus Month offers a great opportunity to celebrate the people that make school buses so special to our children,” Sr. Director of Communications of RIDE Mobility Frank Girardot said. “We join NAPT in celebrating and honoring student safety and those who make it their priority.”

RIDE, headquartered in Pasadena, CA, operates a manufacturing facility in nearby Lancaster, CA where it builds the Achiever, Creator and Dreamer battery-electric school buses. RIDE school buses utilize Lithium-iron Phosphate batteries that are recognized throughout the industry as the safest on the road today.

This month, RIDE will be sharing stories and moments of appreciation for the trusted yellow school bus and the professionals who make student transportation their daily mission. Images and video are available upon request.
