Reflections from the NASDPTS Conference & a Fun DC Fact

The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS) Conference really flew by! It’s incredible how much information is shared, the commitment of everyone involved, and the spirit of collaboration that unfolds as the group listens, discusses, and learns. It was fantastic to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new attendees, both seasoned and new to the industry. I feel privileged to be part of such a dedicated group and am excited about what the future holds.

During my time exploring Washington, DC, I came across a fun and unique fact. The Washington Monument, weighing 81,000 tons, is equivalent to the weight of 6,480 school buses! While I didn’t explicitly fact-check this, it was featured on one of the informational plaques near the monument. It was definitely a memorable tidbit!


Thank you for your time,
