Highlights:

• Revenue for the quarter up 33% over the same period last year
• EBITDA* for the quarter up 21% over the same period last year, margin of 21%
• Completed new US $160 million debt refinancing which lowers cost of capital and provides up to US $100 million for future revenue and cash flow growth
• Student Transportation of Canada subsidiary closed fifth acquisition in Ontario, located in Peterborough

Toronto, ON, February 12, 2007 – Student Transportation of America Ltd. (“STA” or the “Company”) (TSX: STB.UN) today reported the financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2007, ended December 31, 2006. All financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, except as otherwise noted.

“We are pleased with our results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007. We continue to have another good year that should provide us with revenue and cash flow growth consistent with prior years and our lowest pay out ratio since our IPO,” said Denis J. Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“The recent restructuring of our senior credit facilities, recognizes our stable, predictable cash flows and provides us with increased capacity for our continued growth initiatives as we plan for the new fiscal year. These new facilities provide us with lower interest rates and increased leverage capacity to create shareholder value as we increase revenues and cash flows from new business,” continued Mr. Gallagher.

During the quarter, the Company said it had expanded its Student Transportation of Canada subsidiary with a fifth acquisition, a “tuck-in”, into its existing operations in Peterborough, Ontario. “Canada continues to be a great market for us. We are reviewing a number of new opportunities in Ontario as well as other selected provinces where we see growth potential. In the U.S. where we also had good growth, we experienced some driver shortages in two start-up locations for the first half of the year which affected expected results. The shortages have now been corrected and these locations have excellent long term contracts with good customers and are certainly business we want to own,” commented Mr. Gallagher.

For the second quarter, revenue totalled $46.9 million, up from $35.3 million for the same period last year and EBITDA* rose to $9.9 million from $8.1 million in the same period in fiscal 2006.

Student Transportation’s reported net loss for the three month period ended December 31, 2006 amounted to $2.4 million or $0.12 per unit which includes $2.8 million of interest paid to Unitholders on the subordinated notes portion of the IPS units. For the quarter, the Company generated cash available for distributions* of Cdn $9.8 million and paid out distributions of Cdn $5.6 million. As stated previously, due to the seasonality of the business and schools not being in operation during the majority of the first quarter, the Company views distributable cash on an annualized basis.

* Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, but management believes it is useful in measuring STA’s performance. Readers are cautioned that this measure should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss or other comparable measures determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance or as a measure of its liquidity and cash flow. The Company’s method of calculating non-GAAP measures may differ from the methods used by other issuers and accordingly, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other issuers.

Cash available for distributions is a non-GAAP measure, and is not intended to be representative of cash flow or results of operations determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that cash available for distribution, as calculated by the Company, is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.
