This is the fourth annual Wall of Fame celebration for STI, which leads the school transportation industry with the highest DOT safety rating for the top ranking school bus contractors.

“Safety is the most important, most integral part of our business and is the driving force behind everything we do as a company,” stated Patrick Vaughan, Student Transportation Inc.’s COO. “These 15 inductees represent the best of the best of our 14,000 employees and it is a privilege to recognize them for their safety accomplishments. They embrace, as all our folks do, our safety culture and these individuals enhance it by the way they carry themselves and perform their jobs. The Wall of Fame is another way for us to recognize and celebrate these special members of our STI Family.”

The Wall of Fame awards dinner and ceremony was held on November 29th, in Charleston, South Carolina. The 2016 Class of inductees were each greeted by the company’s entire Senior Leadership team, and received gifts and personalized awards at the ceremony. The recipients were also treated to two days off including sight-seeing and other festivities while in the historic city.

Inductees were chosen through an extensive selection process by local managers spanning over six months at STI’s more than 170 locations across the United States and Canada. Some of the criteria for this safety-based recognition included exemplary safety practices within their role, accident-free service, community involvement, reliability and knowledge of company policies and procedures, perfect attendance, good character and attitude, and exceptional performance within their role. The inductees into this year’s Safety “Wall of Fame” are included in the photo insert.

“Not only being nominated, but being one of this year’s inductees, is extremely humbling to me,” stated inductee Melodie Fitzpatrick of Danbury, Connecticut. “The Wall of Fame is a great program that STI has implemented. There are so many exceptional employees who deserve recognition each and every day and I am blessed to be able to work with the incredible people who make up this remarkable company. We are a family here. The quote, ‘Find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life,’ describes my job the best.”
