Since the first school bus rolled off the assembly line in 1936, Thomas operated with one simple philosophy: build the kind of school bus that you'd want your own children to ride in every day. It's a philosophy that's driven their success. Thomas Built Buses is one of the top manufacturers of school buses in North America. One in every three children in America that rides a bus to school, rides a Thomas.

Research by the National Safety Council has shown school buses to be the safest form of transportation available - safer than traveling in airplanes, automobiles or passenger trains. We believe statistics like that are our reward.
