48541

Analysis

NAICS 48541 is the 2022 NAICS industry for school and employee bus transportation, part of 4854 (School and Employee Bus Transportation).

It has only one more detailed code, 485410, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 4,027 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 221,741 people at an average annual payroll of $32,105 per employee (5th percentile of national industries). 24% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 7% and employment fell 6%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
