WALL, N.J., July 2026 – Student Transportation of America (STA), a leader in student transportation, safety, and fleet services across North America, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Tremblay’s Bus Company, effective June 30, 2026.

Tremblay’s Bus Company is an ideal addition to the STA Family of Brands. Based in New Bedford and Fall River, Massachusetts, Tremblay’s operates a fleet of approximately 400 vehicles, serving school districts and communities throughout southeastern Massachusetts. The acquisition adds approximately $35 million in annual revenue and further strengthens STA’s strong and growing footprint across the Northeastern United States.

For STA, this acquisition is about far more than geography and growth. It’s about welcoming a company whose values closely mirror its own.

Founded in the late 1960s with a single station transporting local workers to nearby factories, Tremblay’s has grown into one of the region’s most respected transportation providers. Today, the company serves key customers including the New Bedford School Department, Fall River School Department, and Dartmouth School Department and is widely recognized for its longstanding commitment to safe, reliable service.

Tremblay’s has earned a reputation as an organization deeply connected to the communities it serves. For decades, Tremblay’s has supported veterans, public servants, seniors, youth organizations, and charitable causes throughout the greater New Bedford and Fall River area, becoming known for having a heart every bit as large as its fleet. STA values and celebrates this local commitment while supporting the business with corporate resources and best practices to ensure continued growth and success.

“Tremblay’s Bus Company represents exactly the kind of organization we are proud to welcome into the STA Family of Brands,” said Gene Kowalczewski, CEO of Student Transportation of America. “Their commitment to safety, their strong local leadership, and their deep ties to the communities they serve align perfectly with who we are as a company. We are excited to build on Tremblay’s remarkable legacy while continuing to support the students, families, employees, and school districts that have trusted them for generations.”

Across North America, STA’s Family of Brands is united by a shared focus on what matters most: safety, reliability, and care for people. The model combines local expertise and relationships with the resources, technology, and support of a larger organization—ensuring communities continue to receive personalized service while benefiting from industry-leading transportation practices.

STA will work closely with Tremblay’s leadership and employees to ensure a seamless transition for customers and staff. Day-to-day operations will continue without interruption, and the company looks forward to preserving the strong local relationships that have defined Tremblay’s success for more than half a century.
