Budget estimate

$2,000,000 – $5,000,000

Based on typical school district bus contracts of comparable size in California, the annual spend for a district the size of Oceanside (approximately 15,000‑20,000 students) ranges from $2 million to $5 million. The contract likely covers a multi‑year period (e.g., 3‑5 years), so total potential earnings could be between $6 million and $25 million, depending on mileage, fleet size, and ancillary services such as real‑time tracking and special‑event transportation.
