The Holloway Story
Our founder, Edgar L. Holloway, entered the school
bus business in 1936 with his first school bus working in
Wicomico County, Maryland. In 1945, at the age of 17,
his son, Richard E. Holloway (our current President),
entered the business as a school bus driver. From then
until 1952, they maintained a farming operation, a
general merchandise and grocery, and a school bus
operation.
In 1954, after returning from 2 years service in the
United States Army, and having married, Richard and
Marion applied for and were accepted as school bus
contractors with Wicomico County's Board of Education.

Edgar L. Holloway
In time, the family grocery store eventually closed. In
1975, the business expanded when Richard Holloway
purchased Salisbury Transit, a local company that
provided transportation to physically and mentally
challenged students for our local school district and
private schools. That same year, the name was
changed to Holloway Transit, Inc.
In the following years, Holloway Transit has continued
to grow, becoming the largest school bus contractor
with the Wicomico County public school system,
providing ten school buses daily. In addition, we have
ongoing business with several private and parochial
schools. Our fleet currently numbers 21 school vehicles.

Richard and Marion Holloway
In 1993, Richard and Marion's son Jeff, after 13
years as a public school teacher, joined the firm as
vice president of operations. The business
continued to expand, and in the fall of 2003, with
the purchase of our first coach bus, we formed the
subsidiary company, Holloway Tours.
Today, Holloway Tours operates eight charter
coaches and five charter school buses, providing
service to schools, churches, community groups
and organizations.
Now a family man, Jeff looks forward to the day
when his children may elect to continue the
Holloway family business.
We continue to grow and remain committed to
providing quality service throughout the Mid-Atlantic
region.
