JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Student Transportation of America (STA) is offering a holiday discount on its SchoolWheels.com bus service for families in the Jacksonville area for the remainder of the 2011-12 school year.

The company's SchoolWheels.com service began in July amid cuts in the transportation budget for magnet schools within Duval County Public Schools.
