New Charter Bus Contracts

New charter bus services contracts have been awarded through a competitive bid process. These contracts are available in Buckeye Buy Marketplace Quotes for university-wide use and are primarily intended for trips originating within Ohio.

The order of preference for securing chartered transportation services is listed below.

  1. OSU TTM (Internal provider)
  2. Contracted Bus Companies – Miller, Cardinal, Baron’s
  3. Contracted Broker – STM
  4. Non-contracted providers

 

Ohio State users are expected to exhaust internal or contracted options before pursuing non-contracted supplier use. It is recommended to use the broker, STM, for out of market trips, rather than evaluating and setting up a local charter supplier for a single-use situation.

A more detailed breakdown, including equipment and contact information, can be found on the contract book page. (https://busfin.osu.edu/document/charter-bus-services-summary)
