Greetings from TPS Transportation! We are excited to begin the 2026-27 school year and for the opportunity to help get your students to school, athletic contests, and the many other extracurricular activities that they enjoy. Our drivers are highly trained and collectively have over 200 years of driving experience. They are the best in the state and are dedicated to keeping every Tahlequah Tiger safe while traveling. Every driver is committed to our core values of Safety, Dependability, and Positivity.
The mechanics in our shop have been hard at work all summer. We have two full time mechanics who are Oklahoma state certified school bus inspectors. All our buses and vehicles have been inspected and prepared for the many miles that they will travel. These men put in a lot of hours of hard work to ensure that our buses, vans, and cars stay road-worthy and safe. Precious cargo is being transported every day here at Transportation, and these professionals are a huge part of making sure that they reach their destinations safely!
Our bus routes are organized and ready to run! Please contact the Transportation Office in the coming days to make sure your students’ address and contact information are correct. We will have pick-up and drop-off information for you and be able to answer any questions you have. Here is our contact information:
Paul Martin: 918-458-4168 ext. 17101 martinp@tahlequahschools.org
Criss Hendrix-Fowler: 918-458-4168 ext. 17102 hendrix-fowlerc@tahlequahschools.org
We hope all of your students have a very successful and safe school year!
Paul Martin
Transportation Director
