School Transportation in Allentown, PA

Student Transportation for Allentown Private Schools and Colleges

King Transportation provides daily student pick-up and drop-off, field trip transportation, after-school sports and event travel, and campus shuttle services for private schools, parochial schools, and colleges across Allentown, PA and the Lehigh Valley.

Private and parochial schools don't typically operate their own bus fleets — and that's exactly where King comes in. We provide dedicated, right-sized vehicles for schools that need reliable student transportation without the overhead of maintaining buses and hiring drivers. Your students ride in sedans, minivans, and Ford Transits — not yellow school buses — with the same assigned driver every day.

Every driver is background-checked, FBI-cleared, and trained specifically in student transportation. Every vehicle is GPS-tracked, camera-equipped, and maintained in-house at our King of Prussia facility. Our dispatch team monitors each route in real time and communicates directly with your school's point of contact.
