However, when I copy and paste the dependent list to the row below the second validation data source does not up-date to the new row number. I don't want to have to physically change each reference because the worksheet is some 2500 rows long. Can you help?

Excel recommends using the underscore such as School_bus if you want to separate words. This is because you range references cannot have spaces in the name.

This is a problem if one of your list choices has a space in it and you need to make a dependent list dependent on that choice. You DO NOT have this in your example because all of your primary lists are one word. What shane is saying is that if you have a space that you cannot name a range anything that has a space in it.
