Our Story: A Legacy of Local Leadership in School Transportation

Deadwyler School Bus Transportation LLC is a family-owned business rooted in Washington, DC since the 1970s. What began with Paul Deadwyler’s vision to support the community has grown into a trusted name in student transportation across the district.

In 2004, Paul’s son, John Deadwyler, took the wheel and carried the mission forward with integrity and leadership. Today, the company is proudly operated by third-generation owner Antonio Jenkins, who blends tradition with innovation to meet the evolving needs of modern school systems.

We are proud to have served generations of students, parents, and educators—making each ride to and from school safe, timely, and stress-free.
