Student Transportation of America (STA) celebrated Earth Day 2025 by recognizing the latest advancements made in its Electric Vehicle (EV) bus program, the use of its alternative fuels and corporate sustainability initiatives.
The Wall-based company has achieved significant milestones in fleet expansion and emissions reduction over the past year through its strategic Green Fleet initiatives.
“Minimizing our environmental footprint and maximizing our impact in the communities we serve is something we strive to advance day in and day out at STA. Earth Day is a great moment to recognize how far we’ve come,” Rachel Lane, vice president of Electrification & Sustainability at STA said. “Whether it’s providing students with a quieter and cleaner ride, reducing our carbon footprint, or offering training programs for our teams, we know these initiatives add up. We’re moving in the right direction and setting the foundation for a greener future.”
STA has successfully deployed EV buses in new markets across the country, including several throughout the Northeast in recent months, and is even integrating additional alternative fuels like biodiesel to help lower emissions.
Staying true to its commitment to greener transportation, STA’s sustainability efforts also extend beyond the bus ride as it rolls out sustainability solutions within its national operations.
Key developments in sustainability include:
- New EV Markets
- Embracing Alternative Fuels
- Workforce Training
- Carbon Accounting
- Innovative Waste Reduction Programs
- Industry Accolade
“Our strategy isn’t just about adopting the latest technology, it’s about creating lasting change for the environment and the communities we serve,” said Lane. “Our work is far from done, but we’re proud of the steps we’ve taken to move the transportation industry in a greener direction.”
