NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BusRight, the leading all-in-one student transportation technology solution, has debuted at No. 453 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, which recognizes America’s fastest-growing private companies. The annual list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, highlighting companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs and shaping the future of the economy. With 36-month revenue growth surpassing 900%, BusRight ranked among the nation’s top 500 fastest-growing businesses, reflecting rapid expansion and a steadfast commitment to making student transportation safer, more reliable and more efficient.
“Debuting in the top 500 of the Inc. 5000 is an important milestone for our company and our team, demonstrating the growing demand for modern student transportation technology,” said Keith Corso, co-founder and CEO of BusRight. “School transportation is the nation’s largest public transportation system, yet many districts still rely on outdated processes. Together with our partners in K-12 education, we’re modernizing operations with solutions that improve efficiency, strengthen communication and give families greater confidence in every ride.”
BusRight helps school districts critically improve transportation planning through route design, school boundary analysis, bus stop optimization, daily operations management, safety tools and parent communication. The company gives administrators greater operational visibility and provides families with real-time information that helps ensure students arrive safely and on time.
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products and professional services, the businesses recognized in 2026 are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy.
In the last three years, the companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 list collectively added more than 627,000 jobs to the U.S. economy and recorded a median revenue growth rate of 130%. As school bus driver shortages persist nationally and safety expectations increase, BusRight proudly serves nearly one million users across 37 states and is enhancing its platform with new products and services including BusRight Solutions, which connects districts with experienced routing specialists, and Safety Pass, an NFC-based solution that provides real-time student ridership data for drivers, administrators and families.
“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
Inc. will celebrate this year’s honorees in October at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala in Dallas. Tickets are on sale now. The top 500 will be listed in the fall issue of Inc.
