Main Street Transportation partners with educators and families to provide rides that support student goals. We believe the ride to school has a real impact on a student's day, so we provide calm, supported rides that deliver students regulated and grounded for the day ahead.

We license every driver with a school bus endorsement, run extensive background and drug testing, and draw many of our team members from paraprofessional backgrounds in education. Our small-vehicle environments create a calmer, more tailored experience for students, and we plan every route with one priority in mind: getting kids there safely and ready to learn.

Staffed by people who understand students

Many of our team members come from paraprofessional backgrounds in education, so the driver greeting your student each morning already understands their needs, not just their pickup time.
Built for regulation, not just routes

Every ride is designed to help students arrive calm, regulated, and ready to learn, because we know the ride to school shapes the rest of the day.

Based right here in Carol Stream, we're an active part of the communities we serve — easy to reach, quick to respond, and invested in the outcomes of the students we transport.
