For nearly fifty years, Westchester families have trusted Astra to carry their children — many with special needs — safely to school and back. One driver, one monitor, the same friendly faces every morning.
Most of our routes carry the same handful of children every day. That continuity — between driver, monitor, child, and parent — is the whole job.
Children ages 2–6 picked up at home and delivered to early intervention programs across the county — with car seats, 5-point harnesses, and a monitor every mile.
Wheelchair-accessible lifts, sensory-aware monitors, and equipment configured to your child's IEP. We coordinate directly with school districts and CPSE coordinators.
Daily morning and afternoon transportation for students across 13 schools. Routes are professionally designed and continuously refined for safety, reliability, and ride time.
We don't use the word "safe" lightly. It means a specific list of operational choices we've refined since 1978.
Talk to dispatchNot a sometimes thing. Every Astra route runs with a trained monitor in addition to the driver — to buckle, escort, and watch.
Pre-school children are secured in age-appropriate restraints we maintain in-house. Configurations are reviewed each route, every day.
Dispatch can pinpoint any bus in seconds. If your child is en route and you have a question, we know exactly where the bus is.
Our depot sits at 70 Palisade Avenue in Yonkers, and our routes fan out from there. We contract with school districts, CPSE coordinators, and private day programs across the county.
Don't see your question? Call us — we're available 6 AM to 5 PM on weekdays, and an owner usually picks up.
