History
Student Transportation of America was founded in 1997 by Denis J. Gallagher, who is the chairman and CEO of the company. With roots that can be traced to New Jersey’s Coast Cities Bus Service established in 1922 by Gallagher’s grandfather, STA successfully completed an initial public offering and its income participating securities (IPS) began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange in December 2004.
In November 2009, the company changed its name from Student Transportation of America, Ltd., to Student Transportation Inc. It continues to use the trade names Student Transportation of America and Student Transportation of Canada.
Student Transportation has grown considerably through its "A‑B‑C-D" (Acquisition, Bid, Conversion, and Direct-to-Parent) growth strategy. Among STA's customers is the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is the second largest school district in the United States.
Student Transportation, although based in New Jersey, is publicly traded on both the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.
