Student transportation in Laurel, MD should be one less thing you worry about at 7 a.m. DIA Unlimited Express Transportation provides scheduled daily rides to and from school for middle and high school students whose families need a dependable alternative to the bus route, the carpool chain, or rearranging their own workday. You arrange the schedule once. The same vetted driver handles it every day.
What A Daily Student Route Includes
- A set pickup time and a set drop-off time, agreed before the first ride
- The same driver every day, so your student is never getting in a stranger’s car
- Door-to-door service between your home and the school entrance you specify
- A text to you at pickup and at arrival, so you know where your student is
- Afternoon return, including later pickups for practice, tutoring or clubs
- A direct phone line to the owner, not an app queue, when plans change
Driver And Safety Standards
Screened Drivers
[BACKGROUND CHECK TBC: name the specific screening, e.g. state and federal criminal background check and fingerprinting] plus [DRIVING RECORD TBC: e.g. annual MVA driving record review]. The only test that matters is whether you would put your own child in the car.
Insured And Authorized
Commercial passenger insurance, not a personal auto policy [LIMITS TBC]. Active USDOT 3905039 and MC authority as a motor carrier of passengers. Vehicle maintained and inspected on a set schedule [VEHICLE TBC].
Meet The Driver First
Before the first ride, you and your student meet the person who will be driving, and we walk the route and the drop-off point together. Same driver every day after that.
We transport middle and high school students. Maryland requires a booster seat until age 8 or 4 feet 9 inches, and we do not carry child restraints, so we do not take elementary-age riders.
Call or send the details: your address, the school, the days you need, and your morning and afternoon times.
Before the first ride, you and your student meet the person who will be driving, and we walk the route and the drop-off point together.
The route runs on your schedule. You get a text at pickup and arrival, and you call us directly when anything changes.
Why Families Choose A Dedicated Driver Over An App
Rideshare apps send whoever is nearby. That means a different adult, a different vehicle, and a different standard every single day, and no relationship between the driver and your family. For a one-time trip that is fine. For the ride your fourteen-year-old takes twice a day, every day, it is not.
DIA is a small, owner-operated company. Gayle runs it herself, and the person driving your student is someone you will meet before the first ride and recognize every day after. When your student stays late for practice or comes down with something at lunch, you call a person who already knows your family’s schedule.
We are a woman-owned, MBE/SBE certified passenger carrier operating under USDOT 3905039 with active passenger authority. [INSURANCE LIMITS TBC]
What Determines Your Rate
Daily routes are quoted per family, not off a price list. Your rate depends on:

- How many days a week you need the route
- One-way or round trip
- Whether afternoon pickup is at dismissal or after an activity
- Number of students riding, if you are splitting with another family
- Time of year, since routes are quoted by the school term
