An award was presented by David Wright, president of Starcraft Bus and Federal Coach, to Tony Matijevich, owner and president of Creative Bus Sales, to mark the occasion.

"We are excited to have reached this milestone for our company," Wright said. "We continue to look for new ways to improve the design, engineering and quality of every shuttle bus that we produce, and we look forward to building our next 25,000 buses."
