A FINE (RE-)LAUNCH
STNonline.com was redesigned and re-published in late October prior to the annual NAPT and NASDPTS conferences in Louisville, Ky. Here are a few responses from some of our users:
Te Web site looks EXCELLENT. Honestly, I thought the older
one was a bit overwhelming. However, this one is easy to read, has good information.
Derek P. Shocklee, Director of Sales & Marketing Easy Bus, Inc., N.Y.
I must admit the new Web site caught me by surprise. Your
Web site is loaded with information and keeps me up to date on daily occurrences in the industry.
Art Gissendaner, Transportation Consultant Phoenix
Site looks awesome. You guys did a terrific job!
Steve Frazee, Director of Product/OEM Development C.E. White, New Washington, Ohio

skewed some
numbers in the U.S. Enrollment & Ridership data on page 16 of the 2010 School Transportation News Buyer’s Guide. “Total K-12 Students Transported One-Way Daily at Public Expense” should have read 24,774,754 for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. A corrected version along with latest data for a couple of states that reported late will be available at
www.stnonline.com in the “Maga- zine” section. We regret the error.
A product entry for an Ignition In-
terlock System from Sens-O-Lock of America, LLC on page 52 of the Janu- ary 2010 issued included an incorrect URL. Te correct company Web site is
