- Stefanie Savo & Thomas Zenowitz • Ansonia Public Schools

As the principal of a K-8 special education school serving students that travel from across 14 districts, reliable transportation is critical to our success. RSET has been an invaluable partner, ensuring our students arrive safely, on time, and ready to learn each day. Olga’s team is professional, responsive, and truly understands the unique needs of our students. The coordination of multiple districts can be complex, but RSET makes the process seamless. I are grateful for their dedication and highly recommend their services.

-Heather Gish Principal • ACES at Ansonia

RSET transportation services have been phenomenal in getting our students from point A to point B safely and efficiently each and every day. We rely on RSET for traditional and complex transportation needs and they have always been communicative, punctual, helpful and professional. Our district is grateful for the partnership we have with RSET and we look forward to that continuing.

-Nick DeCesare Outplacement Coordinator • Hamden Public Schools

I appreciate the collaboration from Olga and her team at ACES RSET. Their quick responses have consistently ensured the smooth operation of our students accessing their transportation services. Whether addressing issues or accommodating changes, they have been collaborative partners, especially at the beginning of the 24-25 school year when Oxford experienced unprecedented flooding. Olga and her team were responsive and got transportation going as soon as we received the OK from the structural engineers, minimizing the number of school days our students missed. Their professionalism and partnership make them invaluable partners to Oxford Public Schools in supporting our need for reliable transportation services for our students attending schools outside of Oxford. - Dr. Meghan Pogonelski, Assistant Superintendent of Student and Staff Support, Oxford Public Schools

Districts working together, problem solving major transportation issues, and discussing proactive strategies is and will be a continued mission for ACES RSET and New Haven Public Schools.

-Stefanie Liucci • New Haven Public Schools

ACES RSET is without a doubt one of the most dependable transportation companies that our school has have ever dealt with.
