On Saturday, July 27, 2024, First Student sponsored the BAZIC PRODUCTS back-to-school event attempt to break two Guinness World Records. The goal of the Los Angeles event was to lay the longest line of backpacks and fill the most number of backpacks with school supplies in one hour. 👏 🙌 And, with our help, they did it! We transported families to and from the event on our yellow school buses and our local teams also helped to stuff backpacks to support School on Wheels, Inc. in their mission. “As a company that helps students succeed academically by providing them with the safest transportation to and from school, we know how important it is for children to have the right tools to succeed in their education," Location Manager Isaac Ruiz shared.

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

"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
