JACKSONVILLE, FL (December 16, 2011) – Student Transportation of America (STA) is offering a holiday discount on their SchoolWheels.com bus service for families in the Jacksonville area for the remainder of the 2011-2012 school year. The Holiday Discount Price of $559 comes to a budget-friendly $5.48 per day for access to the safest form of transportation to school. This promotion is available to new customers and will run through January 22, 2012.

STA Staff will be attending the information session “Magnet Mania” on January 21 from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm at the Prime Osborn Convention Center in Jacksonville. Computers will be available for parents to sign-up for the discounted $559 SchoolWheels.com rate, and STA Staff will be on-hand to assist in the registration process and to answer questions. STA’s display will also feature maps outlining the current bus routes, so that parents may have the opportunity to provide feedback on stops and routes for the following school year

“We have received a lot of positive feedback from the hundreds of families we serve,” said Chris Ingold, Operations Manager at STA’s Jacksonville facility. “Parents have told us that the location of the bus stops is very important to them. So we want to help them as much as possible while also creating an interactive process that gives parents greater input.”

The company’s SchoolWheels.com service began in July of 2011 amid cuts in the transportation budget for magnet schools within the Duval County Public School system. STA set up its web-based service in order to help the thousands of students affected by these cuts, while allowing working parents, single parents and others to maintain their busy schedules. Families continue to sign up for the service, adding comments such as, “Our driver is always on time and very punctual and we need that in our busy lives.” Another parent added, “Safety is a huge factor and my son feels safe riding the bus.” Parents are encouraged to call STA’s Enrollment Center toll-free at (855) 884-2720.
