Toronto, Ontario – September 4, 2007 – Student Transportation of America Ltd. (“STA Ltd.”) and Student Transportation of America ULC (“STA ULC” and, together with STA Ltd., “STA”) announced today that Cdn $45.8 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes of STA ULC had been validly deposited to its previously announced exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”). The Exchange Offer terminated at 5:00 p.m. EDT today, and will not be extended.

Under the Exchange Offer, STA offered holders of subordinated notes of STA ULC (“Notes”) 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).

STA has also announced that, as all conditions of the Exchange Offer have been satisfied, it has taken up and accepted for payment, all Notes so deposited, which represent approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding Notes on a fully diluted basis. Payment for Notes taken up today will be made on or before September 7, 2007. As a result of the exchange, the company will have a majority of common shares (TSX: STB) outstanding versus IPS units and will have reduced its total debt by approximately $45.8 million.

“We are pleased the exchange offer was widely received by Unitholders. STA has always had a common share as part of the IPS unit. We believe this exchange and the eventual exchange of the balance of the notes, which are callable in December 2009, will create common share liquidity and provide shareholders with an attractive monthly Canadian qualified dividend as well as participation in the continued growth of the company,” said Denis J. Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for STA. “The IPS structure was a good vehicle for us to enter the public market in 2004 but it is not well understood by many investors outside of the institutional investment community. This exchange will simplify our capital structure, enhance liquidity and allow us to attract new shareholders,” added Gallagher.

STA has achieved a 22% compounded annual growth rate of revenues for the past five years and has paid 31 consecutive monthly dividends since the Company’s IPO in December 2004. Based on today’s closing price of the common shares, the dividend yield is approximately 8.2%.

Wellington West Capital Markets advised the Company on the exchange offer.

Further information regarding the Exchange Offer is available in the Exchange Offer circular, which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
