March 11, 2026 — With safety top of mind for parents and families in Cobb, the work that happens behind the scenes to ensure bus routes are safe and secure is extensive.
In this week's edition of The Inside Scoop, host David Owen talks with Cobb senior executive director of transportation, Mike Quick.
Quick talks about the inspections each bus goes through before and after a day on the road to ensure a safe drive to and from school.
These inspections include checking everything from tires and mirrors to stop signs and every other feature buses have to keep children safe and comfortable.
Along with ensuring the bus itself is in good shape, traffic patterns and current construction projects are also reviewed and factored into bus routes.
In this podcast, you’ll also hear more from Quick about how Cobb Schools is upgrading its system to improve parents' ability to track their child's bus.
The technology is currently being rolled out and tested at Allatoona High School, providing families with the latest updates on their child’s bus and any potential changes or delays.
