Vancouver

Student Transportation of Canada Employee Embarks on Trip to Share Expertise

BARRIE, ON, Jan. 20 /CNW/ - Student Transportation of Canada ("STC"), an operating subsidiary of Student Transportation Inc ("ST") (TSX: STB), has one of their own traveling to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver . While she is not competing for the gold medal in any of the events, she will have a critical job at the games. Chris Albrecht , a driving trainer at the company's Elmira terminal, has been invited to give safety training presentations to bus drivers transporting athletes, officials, spectators, and media to and from all athletic venues in Vancouver .

"This is such a wonderful opportunity. I am very excited to be a part of the Olympic experience," said Albrecht. "As a trainer, I feel a great responsibility to accurately relay information so the drivers will feel empowered to do what they need to do when their training is complete."

Throughout the three-week period before the Olympics begin, Albrecht will be part of a team that will present to over 2,000 drivers operating over 1,000 buses and conduct hands-on training as well.

Albrecht received the invite after her husband, Brent, recommended her to the company charged with organizing shuttle service to all events at the games. After one phone interview, the company knew Albrecht was the best candidate for the job.

Even though Albrecht will be away from the job for three weeks, her managers and coworkers at Student Transportation of Canada could not be happier for her. "We are thrilled for Chris Albrecht and the opportunity she has been given to represent Canada at the Olympics," said Diane Weigel , Terminal Manager at the Elmira location. "Chris has been a driver trainer with the company for six years and always has a positive attitude and pleasant disposition. She is a very thorough trainer and we believe, bar none, that she is the best candidate for this position."

Employees at the Elmira terminal are hosting a breakfast Thursday morning in celebration of her tremendous achievement and recognition.
