Toronto, Ontario – July 30, 2007 – Each of Student Transportation of America Ltd. (“STA Ltd.”) and Student Transportation of America ULC (“STA ULC” and, together with STA Ltd., “STA”) announced today that its board has approved proceeding with an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) under which STA will offer holders of subordinated notes of STA ULC 0.67 common shares of STA Ltd. in exchange for each $3.847 principal amount of subordinated notes of STA ULC (being the principal amount of notes represented by an income participating security).

The exchange offer is being made for the following reasons:

• STA has the right to redeem the notes at any time on or after December 21, 2009, for a redemption price of 105% of the principal amount of the notes, being approximately $4.04 for each $3.847 principal amount of notes.
• STA believes the Exchange Offer will provide enhanced liquidity in the common shares through the increase of the public float of common shares;
• the Exchange Offer will allow STA to reduce its financial leverage, providing it with greater flexibility to pursue future growth opportunities;
• STA believes that completion of the exchange offer will lower its cost of capital by replacing interest payments on the notes with dividends on the common shares; and
• STA believes holders receive more favourable tax treatment in respect of dividends, as compared to interest income.

STA will file a circular with securities regulators with respect to the Exchange Offer, which will expire on September 4, 2007, subject to STA’s right to extend the Exchange Offer. There are certain conditions that apply which, if not satisfied, would allow STA to, at its option, either not proceed or waive the conditions and proceed nonetheless. Further information regarding such conditions is available in the Exchange Offer circular, which will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

THE SECURITIES OFFERED PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER HAVE NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES ABSENT REGISTRATION OR APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS. THIS PRESS RELEASE SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY NOR SHALL THERE BE ANY SALE OF THE SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH OFFER, SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.
