Note: When Penn Transit Services does not have resources available to accommodate a charter request, the request is outsourced to a qualified charter vendor. Penn Transit assesses the safety records of bus companies using a thorough, comprehensive review process and monitors the companies to ensure they continue to operate safely. Motor Carriers are only selected after Penn Transit reviews a comprehensive Motor Carrier Report by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Penn Transit monitors all approved bus carriers on a consistent basis to ensure performance continues to meet Penn’s strict standards.

 

Proposals for service will be provided with an emphasis on customer service and cost savings, which will include a nominal booking charge. A vendor may contact you to confirm or review your request details. The remainder of the booking and actual charter event will be managed and monitored by Penn Transit Services.
