Charter Buses

Procuring charter bus services with ONLY Contracted Suppliers is required (due to insurance and safety requirements).  For a list of the suppliers who have been awarded a contract to provide Charter Bus Services click here.  Important note: Some suppliers on the sourcing page have only been approved for limo or taxi services – so before reserving, make sure the supplier has been approved for Charter Bus Services.
