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