The sin gle-bus tour will stop at iconic American landmarks on its way to deliver the last bus from the largest single order of 434 propane-fueled buses to Student Transportation of America’s (STA) new termi nal in Omaha, Neb. STA is a subsidiary of Student Trans portation Inc. (TSX: STB) (Nasdaq: STB). The Propane Road Tour will raise aware ness of propane autogas as a clean, safe and efficient alter native fuel for school bus use that is more cost-effective to operate than diesel. “The purpose of the Pro pane Road Tour is to provide the opportunity for school districts and communities to leam about the outstand ing benefits of using propane autogas,” said Phil Horlock, president and CEO of Blue Bird Corporation. “Communi ties along the tour route, from Georgia to Omaha, have an opportunity to talk with key industry representatives about the economic, safety and en vironmental benefits of pro- pane-powered school buses.

Propane autogas bums clean er in engines than gasoline or diesel, which results in less engine wear and tear, and re duced maintenance costs. Blue Bird Propane-Powered Vision school buses reduce carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and total hydrocar bon emissions, and virtually eliminate particulate matter, when compared to conven tionally fueled school buses. Noise levels on the bus are de creased by as much as 50 per cent when compared to diesel counterparts, making it easier to hear the children on board. Since more than 90 percent of U.S. propane supplies are pro duced domestically, propane autogas reduces our nation’s dependence on foreign oil. Along the route, the bus will refuel at existing public pro pane autogas fuel stations. With the largest refueling net work of any alternative fuel, propane autogas is a solution for school districts across the country whether using public stations or installing private sites to refuel their fleet ve hicles. In addition to meeting strin gent Environmental Protec tion Agency and California Air Resources Board certifi cation standards, the Type C Blue Bird Propane-Powered Vision provides best-in-class serviceability, extensive op tional equipment choices, and seating for up to 78 passen gers.
