Dean Transportation trials real-time
surveillance with Axis Communications
With
nearly
school
buses
operating
in more than 100 school districts throughout Michigan,
security and surveillance is a paramount concern for
Dean Transportation.
Dean Transportation, formerly Special
Transportation, was established in the early
1950's by Eric Christensen. Christensen
transported individuals affected by polio to
Lansing, MI, area schools throughout the
1950's and the early 1960's. In 1969, Special
Transportation was incorporated by Lyle L.
Stephens, a former Michigan State Police Motor
Carrier Lieutenant and a leader in passenger
safety. Kellie Dean joined the company in 1986,
and Special Transportation became Dean
Transportation in 1991.
