Missouri-Central School Bus (MCSB)

  • 3/24 - Missouri Central School Bus said it's ending its contract with the Saint Louis Public Schools (19,600 students) on June 30, resulting in the closure of two St. Louis-area locations and lay off of hundreds of workers. MCSB will be closing its locations at 3645 Gratiot St. and 8000 Hall St. in St. Louis, the letter stated.

The company said the permanent closing and layoffs at the two St. Louis locations will begin on or about May 24 and continue through the completion of its service ending on or about July 15, affecting about 332 full-time and part-time employees.

SLPS officials said in a press release late Monday that its contract with MCSB was supposed to run through the 2024-2025 school year, but the bus company is exercising a clause to terminate the contract. AP Article

  • RTK Data sites all over Illinois, see each county businesses for listing WEB
  • RTK from John Deere provides highly accurate, repeatable corrections from global positioning system (GPS) to John Deere’s suite of precision ag applications. RTK utilizes a local, ground-based reference station that transmits the high-accuracy corrections to a StarFire receiver on a machine via RTK Radios. Accuracy depends on the distance between the base station and the machine. At 20 km (12 miles) from a base station, a machine has 1.6 km (1 in.) of accuracy 68 percent of the time, but the closer the machine is to the base station, the more accurate the signal is. StarFire RTK accuracy depends on the distance between the base station and the machine. The shorter the distance, the more accurate the system will be.
  • Sloan ended 900 MHz RTK in 2015 and moved to 450 MHz. 900 MHz is shared, 450 MHz can be licensed at specific frequencies, that others are not using.
