In this episode of More to the Story, we go behind the wheel with Laura Hill, General Manager of Transportation Services and the 2026 National Transportation Director of the Year by Student Transportation News, to learn what it takes to keep one of the largest daily operations in Hillsborough County moving. From school bus drivers and routes to safety, staffing and the daily challenges that come with transporting tens of thousands of students, Laura shares the work happening long before the first bell rings and well after the school day ends. It’s an operation most families rely on every day but rarely get to see from the inside.
