Customer Feedback Leads to Successful Transportation Advisory Forums: Leonard Bus Sales Committed to Providing Education and Training for School Transportation Partners

June 7, 2016, Deposit, NY — Leonard Bus Sales staff recently gathered with Transportation Supervisors, Head Mechanics, and Technicians from across the state for the company’s
semiannual Transportation Advisory Forums.

Leonard Bus Sales worked closely with its school transportation partners to develop an education and training program that ensured participants were able to engage in hands-on workshops and gained in-depth knowledge of various focus areas including, but not limited to, brake maintenance and repair, and the latest school bus safety threats facing today’s bus drivers — attendees were provided professional development opportunities on preventing student door dragging presented by Betty Hughes of PTSI.

“I think we had the largest turnout – ever – for this year’s Transportation Advisory Forums,” said Leonard Bus Sales VP Jon Leonard.  “It is a testament to our commitment to make it easy for our school transportation partners, but also our customers’ commitment to ensuring they are familiar with the latest school bus technologies and advancements.”

The forums are an integral part of Leonard Bus Sales’ ongoing commitment to provide our school district partners with award-winning customer support across the state.  The Transportation Advisory Forums are designed with the customers in mind and tailored to meet their needs.

“We are committed to embracing and driving positive change to help our school transportation partners to do their job and most importantly, keep their school buses the safest way to travel to and from school each day, said Leonard Bus Sales Vice President, Jon Leonard.”
