Testimonials

"It's another smooth operating year, and we are very pleased with the service STA provides our school district. STA purchased our existing bus fleet and hired the majority of our drivers, and all of the vehicles are well maintained. STA's local management staff works well with our district administration. They are very receptive to our suggestions and work diligently and quickly to resolve problems and minimize any disruptions."

STA is superior in their service, their reliability, their professionalism and their responsiveness to requests and questions. I consider STA to be the best transportation arrangement we have had in my 32 years with this office."

Drivers recruited by STA are professional and understand the importance of their jobs. They drive under some of the most intense weather conditions in the country and perform admirably."
