This week marks National School Bus Safety Week (October 20–24, 2025), a time for communities across the country to spotlight the importance of keeping students safe on and around school buses. While much of the focus is rightly placed on driver awareness and student behavior, this week is also an ideal opportunity for school districts to assess the technology and infrastructure that support transportation safety — from onboard surveillance systems to fleet tracking and driver communication tools.
At Secure Supply SLEDG, we understand that managing transportation technology for an entire district can be challenging. Many K-12 systems face aging hardware, fragmented procurement processes, and the constant balancing act between safety goals and limited budgets. As a national value-added reseller, we help schools simplify that complexity by providing turnkey procurement and installation services for everything from bus cameras and stop-arm sensors to GPS fleet software and communications equipment.
Beyond hardware, districts often benefit from an organized procurement strategy that eliminates redundancy and ensures compliance with local or state funding guidelines. Our SLEDG team specializes in leveraging cooperative purchasing contracts like Sourcewell, PEPPM, and NASPO ValuePoint — allowing schools to skip lengthy RFP cycles and secure better pricing on approved safety technology. By pairing these contracts with our installation network, we make it easy for transportation directors to modernize systems before winter travel begins.
This National School Bus Safety Week, consider turning awareness into action. Review your transportation safety plan, identify outdated systems, and explore how Secure Supply can streamline your next project — from sourcing and delivery to installation and support. Together, we can help ensure that every bus ride is as safe, connected, and reliable as possible.
