Looking at the list of the largest school districts this year, based on School Bus Fleet’s annual district survey, Georgia’s Gwinnett County remains the leader in fleet size and number of students bussed, overtaken only by Las Vegas’ Clark County in total distance traveled. Georgia’s Cobb County dropped in the rankings this year, nudged out by other East Coast and Southern schools.
This annual ranking highlights the largest public K-12 school district-operated fleets in the U.S. based on the number of buses, students transported, and miles driven. Together, these local operations represent millions of daily student trips and a cross-section of the nation’s most complex pupil transportation networks.
