About the Pupil Transportation Unit

The Pupil Transportation Unit (PTU) functions under the umbrella of the Education Administration Services Branch of Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth.

PTU consists of four staff members – a senior field officer, two field officers, and an administrative secretary. Three of the four staff members work out of the main office in Winnipeg, Manitoba. One field officer is situated in Rivers, Manitoba. (See Contact Staff for further information).

Many parties are involved in ensuring that Manitoba's students get to and from school safely. Students themselves play a part, as do parents, school division personnel, school bus drivers and the motoring public. In a more indirect way, PTU also assists in "getting kids to school" safely. This website covers all aspects of PTU’s involvement in school bus safety, and the school bus industry in general.
