School Transportation News Magazine | November 2009
[STN Online]
Putting on a Fresh Coat of Paint Just take a stroll around the Internet and you will see that everyone is getting an online facelift. In addition
to a new design and improved search functions and usability at
STNonline.com, state and national school bus associations have been updating their online content and the look of their Web sites more and more. Te National School Transportation Association has given
www.yellowbuses.org the once-over, in- cluding a newsletter archive dating back to 2004, news on current issues and reasons to outsource transportation. Following the same trend, the New Jersey School Bus Owners Association has also revamped its Web site at
njschoolbus.com, adding information on local and national issues, in- cluding constant updates of the condition of former state transportation director Jerry Ford, who was recently injured in an automobile accident but was on the mend.
