The Transportation Department of PPS is run by 72% female employees.
We are Moms that help each other get our kids and your kids to school every weekday, and often get up early on weekend to take your kids to sport events.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Bus Moms.

A Peoria legend just got company.
James Banks’ 53‑year‑old long jump record (23' 4") has finally been topped!
Junior Malik Johnson jumped 23' 4.75" at the 2025 Peoria City Meet.

From record‑setting athlete to trusted bus driver, James Banks proves that his legacy lasts long after the sand settles — not just through the distance he once jumped, but through the mile and distance he’s spent giving back to the students and community he loves!

Congratulations to both of these amazing athletes!
