About the Transportation Department
Welcome from Juan Melendez, Director

The Transportation Department is an important member of the educational team, which includes the school district and community. We will continue to strive for excellence and are always looking for more efficient ways to improve our operation, while at the same time, placing the safety of our students and employees first. We take seriously the trust and confidence that the parents and community have placed in us to transport what is most precious to us: Our Children.
We are committed to operating safe, clean, and mechanically defect-free buses. Our interaction with students contributes to an atmosphere of learning and sets the stage for a positive climate of learning. An effective and efficient Transportation Department will improve the quality of education for our children and we look forward to working with all to ensure that our mission is accomplished.

At the Conroe ISD Transportation Maintenance Facilities we have been working hard towards a goal of “Zero” breakdowns.
