As of late I have been searching out which frequencies are in use by the various school bus companies in lower Fairfield and New Haven counties and so far these are the ones I have been able to confirm and submit to the DB:
Homeland Defense Network TGID 9967673 Branford School Buses
Durham School Services-Milford: frequency is as listed however they are now using DCS 627
Winkle Bus Company: 37.98 DCS 331, sounds to be simplex
Town of Orange School Buses: 464.975, CC4 TG 101, SL1 DMR. Note that Orange uses several different owner operators and contractors and they all use this town provided frequency
All Star Transportation Beacon Falls: 151.55, CC12, TG 9008, SL1 DMR
City of Shelton Student Transportation Services: 152.96, CC14, TG 9008, SL1 DMR. Note this frequency is not licensed to Shelton however I was able to confirm usage from LRRP data and voice traffic using DSDPlus
I have also logged 2 NXDN frequencies in use by WE Transport LLC who provide buses to Bridgeport, however I haven’t been able to determine what each frequency’s actual use is: 461.4875 RAN 10 and 461.6125 RAN 20. If anyone here can confirm what each is used for please let me know.
As for information I am looking for, I haven’t had any luck finding B&B Transportation, who provide buses to Orange, East Haven Public Schools and various private schools. They have no licenses listed with the FCC and any unknown TGs logged from the Homeland Defense Network that are school buses I have determined to belong to Specialty Transportation. If anyone knows where B&B is or what frequencies they use let me know.
If anyone else wants to help by adding others feel free. Not sure why I picked tracking down school bus frequencies as my side hobby in scanning, it just sort of happened when I was out of work with covid back in March and wanted to track down my town’s local First Student branch and it kinda just went from there
