Mike Martucci

At age 22, Martucci founded Quality Bus Service, a school bus business which provided service to the Greenwood Lake Union Free School District. In the 10 years Martucci owned Quality Bus, the company consistently earned over a 90% New York State Bus Net Safety Score, the safety score goal established by the Department of Transportation.^[3]

In November 2015, Martucci was voted President of the New York School Bus Contractors Association.^[4] As association president, he worked on several pieces of school bus safety legislation, including a law passed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) in May 2019, which allows school districts to cooperate with police in ticketing and enforcing Stop-Arm (bus-passing) driving violations. Accompanying this initiative, Martucci hosted two statewide "Operation Safe Stop" Events during his presidency, which brought awareness to the issue of passing stopped school buses outside of the legislative chambers.^[5][6]

At the time it was solid in April 2018, Quality Bus Service provided transportation for Port Jervis City School District, Marlboro Central School District, and Chester Union Free School District.^[7]

In 2020, Martucci announced he would run for the 42nd district of the New York State Senate against freshman Democrat Jen Metzger. After winning the Republican primary unopposed, Martucci narrowly defeated Metzger 50.5–49.5% in the general election.^[8] He took office in January 2021.

In 2022, Martucci led an effort to put forward an amendment that would end school mask mandates. The bill failed, with unanimous Republican support and unanimous Democratic dissent, a vote of 20–43.^[9]

In May 2022, Martucci announced he would not seek reelection.^[10]

On February 6, 2025, Martucci was appointed Regional Administrator for EPA Region 2.^[11]

Martucci lives in New Hampton with his wife, Erin, and their three children.^[12]
