About
Since 1951, Rittenhouse Bus Lines, Inc (originally named Rittenhouse & Sons) began transporting students to and from school for the Uniontown School District. James H. Rittenhouse, Sr., a part-time bus driver and dairy farmer, was approached by a local school bus contractor. He was asked to solely operate three buses in Franklin Township within Fayette County. James agreed and sealed the agreement with a handshake and then purchased four buses for his new business.
Now six decades later, Rittenhouse Bus Lines, Inc., owned by Roger C. Rittenhouse (son of James) and Carole J. Rittenhouse still serve Franklin Township as well as Menallen Township for Uniontown School District. Although the operation has grown from the original four buses to thirteen buses and four vans, we have branched out to include serving as a warranty/service center for Thomas Built buses, a pre-delivery service for Thomas Built buses purchased in the state, a CDL testing site, and a Thomas Built bus part supplier for other local bus contractors.
Through the decades, safety has always been first. Today, safety continues to be our main focus in daily bus service.
