Doug and Cara Grisim of Bluff Country School Bus Service have been in business since 1995 when they purchased 8 buses from Raleigh and MaryAnn Tiedeman in Lake City and provided student transportation services to the Lake City schools. They currently provide services to the Lake City, Wabasha-Kellogg and Plainview-Elgin-Millville school districts. Doug and Cara's daughter, Emmee Grisim Lopez, serves as the company's Routing Coordinator for all three districts and their son, Rusty, is a bus salesman for United Bus Sales.

Doug grew up in a school bus family in Northfield, MN where his father, Ken, owned and operated buses starting in 1969. Doug currently serves on the Board of Directors and is a past President of the Minnesota School Bus Operators Association and is very proud to be in this industry serving families with care and compassion.
