"It is a pleasure working with American Logistics. This decision wasn't easy, but was made regarding student safety, cost efficiency and usefulness. Our employees as well as students enjoy the transportation from ALC - we have a great partnership.

In addition to helping us reduce the cost of our special needs transportation program, we have also been quite impressed with ALC's care in selecting and training their drivers; their use of innovative technologies to communicate with the driver; and, business practices that lower the carbon footprint for our district's transportation program."

"Due to various circumstances, we ended up transitioning to ALC during the busiest time of the school year - the final six weeks. While this wasn't the most ideal scenario, ALC really stepped-up to the plate and did everything in their power to achieve as smooth a transition as possible. We are grateful for their hard work and diligence in making this partnership work."

"One of the things that impressed me most about ALC was the programs it had in place to quickly earn the trust of our families. ALC provides our students with special needs, and their families, the desired consistency that comes from seeing the same driver every day. Additionally, our families appreciate the in-home meetings that take place with the driver, prior to service engagement. These go a long way in ensuring that each family is comfortable with the services that will be provided by ALC."

"We will most likely be increasing our number of ALC routes next year at least three fold and our staff was happy to hear this as we have had such a wonderful success this year in this partnership."

"We are located in a region of the country where people are conscious about making decisions that are favorable and beneficial for the environment. Using a combination of fully-compliant vans and sedans to transport our students with special needs, ALC is not only leveraging vehicles that are more accessible for our students, it is also helping us reduce our fuel consumption, when compared to the amount of gas used by traditional yellow busses, and also helping us to reduce wear and tear that larger vehicles have on the environment."

"ALC does an extraordinary job of ensuring that its drivers and vehicles are both safe, and comply with state and federal laws and regulations. What I think is most impressive about ALC is the driver training and qualification - their drivers are screened and undergo extensive background checks and drug testing, and they are also trained specifically to understand the needs and requirements of students with special needs, and their families."

"I have had American Logistics doing transportation for some of my Special Education children for almost two years now. I am 100% satisfied, and have complete trust and confidence in this company. I would recommend it to anyone that needs transportation issues solved."

"The quality of service provided by ALC is a real improvement over what we had in the past. One of the things we appreciate most about ALC is having a 'direct liaison' from ALC who is available to us whenever we need him, and he has really taken ownership of our district. For example, if or when a situation arises with a driver, ALC has been very good about addressing it. Whether they've talked to the driver or provided a different driver, ALC has worked with us to improve the situation."

"The big thing was training their drivers as well as they do. When you hand ALC a route, it really does relieve you of the responsibility of worrying about it. They make contact with the families in advance and establish a relationship before they start the service. That type of thing is above and beyond our expectations. Once you hand it over to them, we don't get complaints. It's a different way of doing things. A better way."

"ALC hit the ground running, helping us immediately increase the efficiency of our McKinney-Vento program through "intelligent routing" and grouping of students, which has proven already to be more cost-effective than our previous transportation program. The level of customer service that they have provided the district has been unmatched - they are even working with us to create a special billing template that enables us to breakout the cost of transportation for each individual student so that we can bill it to neighboring districts and comply with federal requirements for reimbursement. I would recommend ALC to any school district that wants to lower the cost and increase the efficiency of its McKinney-Vento transportation program."

"We had been using our system for quite a while, so we were initially nervous about the switch, but ALC worked hard to make the transition as worry-free as possible. And when the bumps did come up, as they would with any transition, ALC responded immediately to take care of them."

"I was very impressed with the initial presentation of the program by ALC and the driver. The transportation services they provide to Shamesha have proven to be very effective, and the personalized relationship with the driver has made a huge difference in her behavior during the ride to and from school, as well as in the classroom and at home. The number of incidents have been dramatically reduced and I have received several positive reports regarding these improvements from both her teachers and the school."

"ITS is pleased to be able to recommend ALC's time-tested and proven pupil transportation solutions to the school districts that we serve.
