Community Engagement
Schmitty & Sons Getting InvolvedHere’s how Schmitty & Sons brings meaning to their work.
Each time we grow our business, we bring our legacy of giving and service to the community around it through local partnerships and programs that we support.
Education Support
Our support in education doesn’t stop at the grade school level. We partner with Dakota County Technical College and Lakeville Works to guide high school graduates and college students in mentorship and apprenticeship programs at Schmitty & Sons. We also partner with 191 Community Education programs geared toward continuing education at all stages of life.
Local Support for Global Charities
Each year, Schmitty & Sons volunteers with MVTA at Feed My Starving Children to provide meals for hungry children worldwide.
Food Donations to 360 Communities
Each year, Schmitty & Sons conducts a “Stuff the Bus” event to collect food donations around the communities we serve. At the end of each event, the food is donated to the 360 Communities food shelf.
Over 300 Buses
Since 1952 the Schmitty and Sons fleet has expanded from one bus to over 300 buses today, including school buses, mid-coaches, and motorcoaches.
Employee-Owned
Since 2016 the Schmitty and Sons has been an employee-owned enterprise, which means everyone has a real incentive to make the business a success.
COVID-19 Health & Safety Standards
At Schmitty & Sons, we want each of our drivers and passengers to know safety is our number one priority. We also want you to feel confident that we are taking the necessary precautions to promote safe travel for all of our students and passengers. That is why we remain committed to doing our part to maintain a clean, healthy environment on our vehicles.
