Three Generations of Groome Transportation A Family Business is Born Groome Transportation was founded by Harold V. Groome, Sr., to provide school bus transportation in Henrico County, near Richmond, Virginia. In the 1950s, Groome Transportation’s operational focus grew to include service from Byrd Field to Fort Lee and Fort Pickett and to several other locations within the city of Richmond. The company’s offerings changed significantly in the 1960s. Groome Transportation diversified and also operated a fleet of 18-wheelers and freight docks as well as a rental car company. Groome Transportation began providing shuttle service between Macon, Warner Robins, Robins Air Force Base and Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The company operates out of a state-of-the-art facility with ample complimentary customer parking. Today, the company has expanded to provide daily round trips to ATL.
