Charter Buses

Each of USC's contract charter bus companies:

Meets USC's insurance requirements
Certifies that it operates in compliance with federal and state transportation regulations
Offers contract rates and services for USC customers
Accepts either a university purchase order and/or a Travel Plus Card

Charter Bus Contracts

Because USC's contract with each of these charter bus companies covers all the legal, insurance, and payment provisions, departments can communicate directly with the contractor of their choice. There is no need to obtain authorized signatures for event-specific contracts.
