First Student Signs New Contract with Wright City R-II School District in Wright City, Missouri

March 3, 2009

CINCINNATI — First Student, Inc., the nation’s leader in student transportation, has been awarded the contract for student transportation for the Wright City R-II School District in Wright City Mo., beginning August 2009. First Student is part of Cincinnati-based First Student, North America’s largest transportation company.

The contract is a three-year agreement which includes the operation, maintenance and management of a fleet of 20 vehicles servicing 15 daily routes that will provide student transportation for the district’s three existing schools and one new school opening in the fall.

“We are pleased to be able to provide student transportation for the Wright City school district,” said Justin Grygiel, director of business development at First Student. “We are glad to be able to upgrade the buses with new technologies, including GPS and video camera systems, while still offering a total savings for the school district. School buses are the safest way for students to get to and from school and First Student is continuously looking at ways to make the experience even better for the students who ride on our buses.

First Student’s core values of safety and customer satisfaction are evident through the regular investments we make in our fleet, our adoption of new technologies and enactment of stringent safety policies and operational procedures. Our drivers are skilled professionals who are trained to provide the highest level of safety for the 3 million students we transport to and from school each day.
