LAKOTA, Ohio – Petermann Bus, a leader in student transportation, recently provided complimentary transportation service to the West Chester ∙ Liberty Chamber Alliance for their Leadership 21 – Criminal Justice Session, a program designed to give leaders a better understanding of the community’s local criminal justice system, as well as to open and maintain constructive dialogue to make the community a better place to live and work. The donation of transportation service to the chamber alliance was made as part of Petermann Bus’ company-wide Partners Beyond the Bus program.
