Public schools, private schools, charter schools, school districts, childcare centers, after-school programs, summer camps, and educational organizations across Greater Philadelphia. King works with both individual schools arranging their own transportation and district-level transportation offices coordinating routes across multiple buildings.
To build an accurate quote, King needs the pickup and drop-off addresses, number of students per route, the schedule (daily, weekly, or one-time), desired start date, school calendar with any early dismissals or closures, and whether any students require wheelchair-accessible vehicles. The more detail you provide upfront, the faster King can return a route plan and price.
Yes. King provides contracted recurring routes built around your school calendar. Daily student pick-up and drop-off, after-school program transportation, and campus shuttles can all run on a set schedule for the full academic year or any portion of it. Routes are adjusted for early dismissals, school closures, and seasonal calendar changes.
Vehicle selection is based on passenger count, route distance, accessibility requirements, and luggage or equipment needs. The school fleet includes sedans (up to 3 passengers), minivans (up to 5), Ford Transit vans (up to 9), and ADA-accessible minivans with wheelchair lifts. For larger groups such as athletics teams or field trips, minibuses and motorcoaches are available.
Every school transportation quote is calculated individually. Pricing depends on route distance, number of pickup and drop-off locations, schedule frequency, passenger count, vehicle type, and any accessibility requirements. King does not publish fixed rate cards because each route is different. Request a quote with your specific details and a specialist will return pricing.
