The Ann Arbor Public Schools Transportation Department has been selected as one of the top 10 shops in the United States and Canada by School Bus Fleet magazine in their April 2008 issue.

Cited for the efficiencies created through the use of technology, as well as participating in the County's collaborative parts bidding process, the shop's greatest strength is its crew of mechanics, with a total of 135 years of experience. The department has 125 school buses and 26 other vehicles, maintained by 7 mechanics and the shop crew chief. AAPS vehicles transport 9,000 students, serve 38 schools, and drive 1.7 million miles annually.
