The geographic service area of Rolling V is primarily within New York (Sullivan, Ulster, and Delaware Counties), (id. at 12). In the present application, Applicants seek Board approval to acquire control of Specialty from Seller. Specialty is a Connecticut corporation with its principal place of business in Hartford, Conn. (Id.) Specialty operates as a motor carrier, with a core service area within Hartford County, Conn., particularly the Connecticut towns of West Hartford, Avon, and Farmington, as well as the Connecticut towns of Guilford and Wallingford surrounding Hartford County. (Id. at 13.) On rare occasions Specialty's charter operations extend beyond this core area to include interstate service into New York and Massachusetts. (Id.) According to the application, Specialty primarily provides home-to-school and charter student transportation services to and from extracurricular activities such as athletic events, field trips, and other school-sponsored functions. (Id. at 12-13.) Specialty also provides luxury charter bus services for activities such as scenic tours, corporate retreats, and weddings. (Id.) Specialty's fleet consists of approximately 13 school buses (1-8 passengers), 173 school buses (16+ passengers), 110 mini-buses (16+ passengers), 166 vans (1-8 passengers), and 55 vans (9-15 passengers). (Id.) Applicants also provide additional details regarding Specialty's principal place of business, USDOT number, FMCSA docket number, fleet composition, and driver count. (Id., Ex. A.)

Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), the Board must approve and authorize a transaction that it finds consistent with the public interest, taking into consideration at least (1) the effect of the proposed transaction on the adequacy of transportation to the public, (2) the total fixed charges resulting from the proposed transaction, and (3) the interest of affected carrier employees. Applicants have submitted the information required by 49 CFR 1182.2, including information demonstrating that the proposed transaction is consistent with the public interest under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), see 49 CFR 1182.2(a)(7), and a jurisdictional statement under 49 U.S.C. 14303(g) that the aggregate gross operating revenues of the involved carriers exceeded $2 million during a consecutive 12-month period ending not more than six months before the date of the agreement of the parties, see 49 CFR 1182.2(a)(5). (Appl. 15-20.)

Applicants do not expect the proposed acquisition of control to have a material, detrimental impact on the adequacy of transportation services available to the public. (Id. at 16.) According to Applicants, services available to the public will be improved as operating efficiencies are realized and additional services and capacity are made available. (Id.) Applicants add that their acquisition of control of Specialty is consistent with the practices within the passenger motor carrier industry of strong, well-managed transportation organizations adapting their corporate structure to operate several different passenger carriers within similar service markets, but in different geographic areas. (Id. at 15-16.) Applicants expect the transaction to result in improved operating efficiencies, increased equipment utilization rates, and cost savings derived from economies of scale within Applicants' subsidiaries, all of which will help to ensure the provision of adequate service to the public. (Id. at 17.)

According to Applicants, demand for school bus transportation and charter services in the areas served by Specialty is strong and is expected to increase in the foreseeable future. (Id. at 19.) Applicants assert that the markets that Specialty serves are very competitive due to the significant number of national, regional, and local providers operating in those markets. (Id.) Applicants state that providers competing with Specialty include, but are not limited to, First Student, DATTCO, M&J, Autumn Transportation, Durham School Services, and Student Transportation of America. (Id.) Applicants also state that Specialty's service area is geographically dispersed from service areas of Applicants' Affiliated Carriers and that there is very limited overlap in customer bases as between the Affiliated Carriers and Specialty. (Id.) In light of the highly competitive nature of Specialty's operating environment and the limited intersection between its operations and those of the Affiliated Carriers, Applicants argue that the impact of the transaction on the regulated motor carrier industry will be minimal at most, and neither competition nor the public interest will be adversely affected. (Id. at 19-20.)

Applicants concede that the proposed transaction will increase fixed charges in the form of higher interest expenses, explaining that funds will be borrowed to finance the transaction. (Id. at 17.) Applicants state that the increase in fixed charges will not affect the provision of transportation to the public. (Id.)

Additionally, Applicants do not expect the transaction to have a substantial impact on employees or labor conditions because they intend to continue Specialty's existing operations. (Id. at 17-18.) Applicants do not anticipate a measurable increase or reduction in Specialty's workforce but acknowledge that staffing redundancies may result in limited downsizing of back-office or managerial-level personnel. (Id. at 18.) Applicants do not expect the transaction to result in changes in compensation levels or benefits. (Id.)

Based on their representations, the Board finds that Applicants' acquisition of control of Specialty is consistent with the public interest. The application will be tentatively approved and authorized. If any opposing comments are timely filed, these findings will be deemed vacated, and, unless a final decision can be made on the record as developed, a procedural schedule will be adopted to ( printed page 20775) reconsider the application. See 49 CFR 1182.6. If no opposing comments are filed by the expiration of the comment period, this notice will take effect automatically and will be the final Board action in this proceeding.

This action is categorically excluded from environmental review under 49 CFR 1105.6(c).

Board decisions and notices are available at www.stb.gov.

It is ordered:

1. The transaction is approved and authorized, subject to the filing of opposing comments.

2. If opposing comments are timely filed, the findings made in this notice will be deemed vacated.

3. This notice will be effective on June 2, 2026, unless opposing comments are filed by June 1, 2026. If any comments are filed, Applicants may file a reply by June 16, 2026.

4. A copy of this notice will be served on: (1) the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590; (2) the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, 10th Street & Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20530; and (3) the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of the General Counsel, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.

 Specifically, Applicants state that Van Pool is wholly owned by VP Intermediate Company (VP Intermediate), a Delaware corporation and noncarrier holding company, and that VP Intermediate is wholly owned by Beacon Mobility Corp. (Beacon Mobility), a Delaware corporation and noncarrier holding company. (Appl. 14.) Beacon Mobility is wholly owned by Beacon

Mobility Intermediate Corp. (Beacon Intermediate), a Delaware corporation and noncarrier holding company. (Id.) Beacon Intermediate is wholly owned by Beacon Mobility Preferred Issuer, LLC (Beacon Preferred), a Delaware limited liability company and noncarrier holding company, and Beacon Preferred is wholly owned by Van Pool Group Holdings, L.P. (Group Holdings), a Delaware limited partnership and noncarrier holding company. (Id. at 14-15.) Group Holdings is majority-owned and controlled by AG Holdings, a Delaware limited partnership and noncarrier holding company. (Id. at 15.) AG Holdings is owned by investment funds affiliated with Audax Management Company, LLC (the Audax Funds), a Delaware limited liability company. (Id.) According to Applicants, none of these entities has interstate passenger motor carrier authority, a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number, or a USDOT safety rating, and none of the entities control any regulated interstate passenger carriers other than as set forth in the application. (Id.)

2.

 On December 12, 2025, the Board published notice tentatively approving Applicants' acquisition of control of Lavdas Enterprises, Inc., d/b/a Lavdas Limousines, Inc. (Lavdas) (90 FR 57803). See Van Pool Transp. LLC—Acquis. of Control—Lavdas Enters., Inc., MCF 21140 (STB served Dec. 12, 2025). However, Applicants state that they and Lavdas ultimately did not consummate the transaction. (Appl. 3 n.2.) Accordingly, Lavdas is not among the Affiliated Carriers. (Id.)

Additionally, on December 23, 2025, the Board published notice tentatively approving an application by Applicants to continue in control of two of Applicants' subsidiaries—Rolling V Bus Corp. (Rolling V) and STS of New Mexico, LLC (STS)—upon Rolling V and STS becoming federally regulated passenger motor carriers (90 FR 60, 223). See Van Pool Transp. LLC—Continuance in Control—Rolling V Bus Corp., MCF 21141 (STB served Dec. 23, 2025). Applicants note, however, that STS has not yet applied for interstate authority since approval was granted but is expected to apply in the near future. (Appl. 3 n.2.) Accordingly, STS is not currently among the Affiliated Carriers.

3.

 Additional information about these motor carriers, including principal place of business, USDOT numbers, motor carrier numbers, USDOT safety ratings, fleet composition, and driver count, can be found in the application. (
