Trinity Transportation Lands Contract for Detroit Public Schools, Plans to Hire over 200 Bus Drivers

Trinity Transportation has been awarded a contract with Detroit Public Schools to handle over 100 school bus routes throughout the school district.

The contract will begin at the start of the 2015-2016 school year. Trinity will be running their services out of two DPS terminals that they will be taking over in the fall.

Trinity Owner and President Jerry Sheppard’s knowledge of the transportation industry in Detroit is extensive and he feels that Trinity was the perfect fit for Detroit Public Schools’ transportation.

“Trinity Transportation has had the pleasure of serving Southeast Michigan for over 30 years,” Sheppard said. “We are thrilled to welcome Detroit Public Schools to our family and continue serving the metro Detroit area.”

The company currently services several academies in Detroit and many businesses based in the city, according to Trinity Sales Director Austin Arksey.

“We are pleased to be involved with Detroit Public Schools during the revitalization of the city,” Arksey said. “Many great things are happening downtown and we are excited to be on board.”

Trinity plans to hire more than 200 school bus drivers this summer to serve Detroit Public Schools.

“We are really excited to bring on current drivers for DPS, as well as new drivers, to become a part of the Trinity team,” said Adina Allen, Trinity Transportation’s human resources manager.

Applications for positions as a school bus driver are available at www.trinitytransportation.com/careers.

Trinity Coach of Michigan has taken delivery of two 2011 Prevost H3-45 motorcoaches.  “We strive to operate the nicest equipment in the region” said Jerry Sheppard, president of the Detroit-area based transportation company.  In late 2010, prior to the addition of the two 2011 Prevost coaches, Trinity also took delivery of two 2010 Prevost H3-45 coaches.  This brings Trinity’s full size coach fleet to a total of 22 vehicles.

These latest coaches are equipped with the clean, well-proven Volvo D13 engine, which exceeds EPA10 emissions standards. The powertrains feature Allison transmissions.  Both the 2010 and the 2011 Prevost coaches are equipped with top tier amenities, including flat screen video monitors, Wi-Fi, 110-volt outlets, and faux wood floors which offer an extra measure of elegance.  Recognizing that many customers now travel with computers, cell phones, and other devices that require recharging, the company specified the 110-volt outlets in every seat pair.  This is a feature that Trinity passengers truly appreciate.

Trinity Coach and other Trinity Transportation Group companies have provided a range of transportation options throughout the southern Michigan region for 30 years. Trinity currently operates a fleet of over 300 buses, taxis and sedans.  Trinity Coach purchased its first motor coaches in 2000, three 2000 Prevost H3-45 coaches, which were purchased after Mr. Sheppard was attracted by the brand’s reputation for outstanding quality.  Eleven years later, Trinity Coach and its staff remain highly satisfied with Prevost product quality, excellent customer service, and sustained resale value.   “We are committed to investing in the best equipment, so we can deliver comfort and safety which is second to none,” said Sheppard.  “Our customers have come to expect the best from us, and we deliver.”

The school bus inspection team, a division of the Michigan State Police, recently inspected Trinity Transportation’s school bus fleet. Over 200 buses received their annual safety review with flying colors.

Trinity’s bus fleet received a 100% passing rate. There were no red or yellow tags issued. According to the inspection criteria, all vehicles inspected were in a safe operating condition.

This is the seventh consecutive year that Trinity has received a perfect score.
According to Jerry Sheppard, President of the Trinity Transportation Group, “The results of our inspections are indicators of every one doing their jobs right and have bought into the concept of serving the customers well with safe and reliable transportation. We are pleased to be able to deliver on our promises”.

Trinity Transportation Group is known by its customers in Southeastern Michigan for its outstanding safety record, its dependable fleet and its guaranteed on-time arrivals. And most of all we’re proud of serving our customers with instant and continuous service.
