"I appreciate the collaboration from Olga and her team at ACES RSET. Their quick responses have consistently ensured the smooth operation of our students accessing their transportation services. Whether addressing issues or accommodating changes, they have been collaborative partners, especially at the beginning of the 24-25 school year when Oxford experienced unprecedented flooding. Olga and her team were responsive and got transportation going as soon as we received the OK from the structural engineers, minimizing the number of school days our students missed. Their professionalism and partnership make them invaluable partners to Oxford Public Schools in supporting our need for reliable transportation services for our students attending schools outside of Oxford."
