FirstAlt is proud to support the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 34th Anniversary. On July 26, we celebrate this important civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. At FirstAlt, we are dedicated to providing inclusive and accessible transportation solutions for all children, ensuring that every student, regardless of ability, can travel to and from school with ease and dignity. Caring for students and providing safe and reliable transportation solutions so that all children have an exceptional experience and arrive to school ready to achieve their full potential is our mission. #ADA34 #ThanksToTheADA

About us
As the leading pupil transportation solutions provider for school districts in North America, First Student provides the best start and finish to every school day. Our teams complete five and a half million student journeys each day, moving more students than all U.S. airlines combined. We operate more than 44,500 vehicles in 41 U.S. states and 8 Canadian provinces/territories. What makes First Student the right choice for your school district's needs? Our partnerships: We believe great transportation is always the result of close, trusted partnerships with the school districts we serve. Understanding that needs change sometimes throughout the school year, our goal is to remain responsive to your district's needs. We work closely with school districts to ensure the transportation solutions we provide represent a collective, forward-thinking response to the needs of your district and community. Our engagement: We believe education offers a child – and their family – the foundation needed to lead a productive and successful life. We support education by making sure children have a safe and reliable way to get to and from school each day. Students start and end their school days with us, and we recognize the opportunity we have to impact each student’s day in a positive manner. Our people: Our people are our advantage. With a team of highly-trained drivers and the industry’s strongest safety record, we’re able to leverage the best practices, technologies and processes needed to deliver quality, consistent service.

"A boat doesn't go forward if each one is rowing their own way" - Swahili Proverb As the sun set on another successful day, we embarked on our 2nd annual First Student Sunset Cruise 200 employees strong with the Weymouth, Whitman, Pembroke and Freetown locations. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of our drivers and operations staff, whose dedication, teamwork, and relentless effort were the driving force behind the success of this past year. That serene evening on the water was our way of showing appreciation for their hard work and commitment. We took that time to celebrate our collective accomplishments, strengthened our bonds, and enjoyed the beauty of the journey we shared together. Looking forward to another great year with a great team! #morethanabuscompany #leadership #firststudent #appreciation

🙌 We're excited to partner with the Little Rock School District to bring new electric buses to their school community thanks to a grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Our Head of Electrification Kevin Matthews shared that "the initial cost of replacing a diesel bus with an electric bus is high, so the grants from the Environmental Protection Agency are particularly helpful. For First Student, the Clean Bus Program is allowing the company to transition to electric buses faster than anticipated. Read all about it in this article. #EV #electricbus #caringforstudents #goyellowgogreen
