In 1921, C.H. Petermann founded Petermann Bus Company to provide transportation for children with special needs in Cincinnati, Ohio. Along with his Rotary Club, Petermann organized the first education program for children with special needs in the basement of Cincinnati’s General Hospital. Subsequently, he was instrumental in building Condon School, the predecessor to today’s Roselawn-Condon School in Cincinnati’s Roselawn neighborhood.

Today, the third generation (now the Settle family), continues the tradition of providing safe, cost-effective transportation services for students, children and adults with special needs, as well as contracted employment transportation.
