WALL, N.J., Oct. 17, 2016 -- Student Transportation Inc. (“STI”) (TSX:STB) (NASDAQ:STB), the largest independent provider of school transportation and management services in North America, joins its customers and the National Association of Pupil Transportation (NAPT) in celebrating National School Bus Safety Week from October 17 – 21. The NAPT’s chosen theme this year is "Bully Free Zone!" which runs in tandem with STI’s 6th annual Anti-Bullying Awareness initiative that is running throughout the entire month of October.
“We believe that safety awareness is an ongoing process, not a one-time event,” said Don Weir, Director of Passenger Safety and Compliance for STI and its Family of Companies. “So we view National School Bus Safety Week as just another way we can highlight the safety education and best practices that we train our drivers on year round. We believe that a positive experience on the school bus carries into the classroom and nurtures a positive experience at school, and that positivity begins and ends with the safety of our more than 14,000 school bus drivers.”
STI’s 150+ locations throughout the United States and Canada will be holding safety meetings with customers, demonstrations with local officials including highway patrol, and online safety training courses through its Learning Management System this week. Additionally, the Company has just announced its 4th annual STI Safety “Wall of Fame” recipients, an honor bestowed to employees who have gone above and beyond the regular scope of their duties by displaying an outstanding commitment to safety.
