School Bus company frequencies

[eagleguy]

I'm looking for school bus companies in Dutchess, Orange and Ulster counties. I'm looking for A & E transport, First Student, and Laidlaw in particular.

Fellow scanner. Go to the following link and follow the directions below.

Click on frequencies

Choose a county

Click on Government

scroll down and at the bottom you will see where it says Schools.

Again I hope this helps.

I know First Student uses the NYCOMCO EDACS system for comms in Dutchess & Ulster. They use the Millbrook, Illinois and Snake Hill Towers (TG 285). Not sure about the others.

They are also listed as using the Snake Hill Tower on the A-1 Communications System, but I don't listen to that system so I can't confirm.

Info on the NYCOMCO EDACS system can be found on http://www.nf2g.com/scannist/index.html
But click on Frequencies, Statewide, Trunking then EDACS at the bottom click on EDACS or LTR and look for NYCOMCO or A-1 in the list. (You might want to try to look through some other local TRS listed there to find them).

Also for the others try an FCC ULS search:

In NJ, the Laidlaw School Bus company based in Jersey City uses 153.245 (fairly active).

In Wallkill - Ulster County, First Student is 461.025 can't remember the P/L. This is very active. They also use 155.280 as a secondey frequency. Again I don't know the P/L. It's good to use a P/L on this one as it is also an Ulster Couny EMS frequency...........Ray

PL for 155.2800 school buses is 107.2. Not sure which company (I thought it was Carroll in Orange County/Newburgh), but definitely a bus co. Very annoying when trying to listen to EMS activity if you don't have PL Lockout feature.

Hope this helps,
