Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

Based on typical university athletics travel budgets, a multi‑sport charter bus contract for a full academic year can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to roughly half a million. Factors influencing the amount include the number of trips (often 30‑60 per season), distance traveled, bus size, and any ancillary services (e.g., on‑board Wi‑Fi, wheelchair accessibility). Assuming an average cost of $5,000–$8,000 per trip and 40‑60 trips annually, the total contract value is estimated between $200,000 and $500,000.
