Brief History

The South Carolina Association for Pupil Transportation is a statewide non-profit 501C Corporation and professional organization that recognizes pupil transportation as a basic contributor to an effective education system. 

 

SCAPT is committed to the continued improvement of all aspects of this specialized education service. SCAPT speaks for supervisors, bus technicians and bus drivers employed by school districts and the state on legislative issues that effect our state bus system.

​

SCAPT was organized in 1975 as an independent non-profit organization for transportation professionals. Since 1975 SCAPT has provided its members with the tools necessary to help them become better leaders within the transportation arena. 

 

SCAPT is committed to improving school bus operations within our state and has always put student safety first.
