Sara Houle is not new to CST or to student transportation. She started at the company as chief administrative officer in early 2023 and went on to serve as chief operating officer and most recently vice president of engagement and compliance.
"It’s an incredible honor to lead a team so dedicated to creating safe, reliable, and student-centered transportation solutions," Houle wrote on LinkedIn. "I’m grateful for the trust and support, and I’m looking forward to the work ahead, strengthening partnerships, supporting schools and families, and continuing to put students first every day."
Houle brings 18 years of industry experience. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated a deep commitment to ensuring students start and finish their days with safe, reliable transportation.
"Sara’s focus on building strong relationships with schools and service partners has elevated the level of support we provide to students across our communities," a company post said. "Her dedication to collaboration, service quality, and operational excellence will continue to drive CST’s mission forward."
CST is based in Minnesota and currently serves over 5,000 students in 15 states across the country.
