Yesterday was a dream. We rolled out six new IC Bus electric school buses at Steelton-Highspire School District near Harrisburg, PA. Huge thanks to everyone who came to the ribbon cutting event and our great partners -- Moms Clean Air Force, Generation180, PPL Electric Utilities, Lt. Governor Austin Davis, State Representative Dave Masden, Shannon Crooker, Ramez Ziadeh, Lisa Norden, Justin Douglas, Vanessa Lynch and George Hartwick. As our own Head of Electrification, Kevin Matthews said, “The future is here.” 🔌 ⚡ 🚍 Fox43 captured this historic moment – the first electric school buses in PA with an all-electric bus fleet, and the first funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean School Bus Program! Superintendent Mick Iskric, Jr., Ed.D. said these buses will benefit “our community, our kids and our school district.” Watch clip here! #EV #electricschoolbus #caringforstudents #focusonsafety

Check out this great coverage from our electric school bus ribbon cutting led by Kevin Matthews with Steelton-Highspire School District. Congratulations to Mick Iskric, Jr., Ed.D. and J.J. Carnes on rolling out the first all electric school district fleet in the US which is also fully supported by a solar array on district property. A great partnership between the district, IC Bus, PPL Corporation, Generation180 and the McClure Company. It is inspiring to see what Steelton is doing for the community, showing what is possible when you do all you can for the students. Thanks to Moms Clean Air Force and Generation180 for joining in at this event. #schoolbus #EV #Innovation

All of these buses are powered by our innovative, cost saving, Flex Charge system. Let us at First Student share with you how you can benefit from this industry leading solution!
Yesterday was a great day. Not only for First Student but also for Steelton-Highspire School District. I was honored to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of deploying an all-electric school bus fleet at Steelton-Highspire School District. Mark Carnes, the business manager at Steelton Highspire applied for six electric school buses in round one of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) #cleanschoolbusprogram and won. Not only do they now have an all-electric fleet, but they are also 100% solar powered. Thank you Mick Iskric, Jr., Ed.D. and JJ Carnes for doing the right thing for your students and for your community. Thank you to the First Student team, Kevin Matthews, Brian Fitzgerald, Shawn Albright, Ami Parikh, AICP, and so many others for all your hard work. A special shoutout to IC Bus, PPL Corporation, Moms Clean Air Force, and Generation180. Kudos! 🚍 🔌

It’s a few months early, but today I found this in my mailbox, a 3 year pin from First Student. If you don’t know, I spent 10 years with McOpCo and one of my favorite things about them were the recognition pins. It’s one of the ways I used to spend my retention budget on my crew. I still have my framed 5 years of management pin from McOpCo. Here’s the big difference between those experiences, at First, I don’t go more than a day or two without someone telling me how much I am appreciated. Not just in group or large “thank you all” settings. I get at least one personal thank you almost everyday, and often several times a day. That culture of gratitude it something that really feeds my soul. I make efforts to recognize the achievements of my locations with every interaction, and they always show their appreciation. This example of over abundance of gratitude and appreciation is something that I hope to bring to every organization I speak at. Happy people just make a difference that is visible on the bottom line. I’m so grateful to work at an organization that shows it values me. I’m excited to be growing with this company. #TeamTabetha #appreciation #gratitude #culture
