Student Transportation of America (STA), one of the North America's largest contractors, today announced it has acquired Tremblay’s Bus Company, effective as of June 30, 2026.

Based in New Bedford and Fall River, Massachusetts, Tremblay’s operates a fleet of approximately 400 vehicles, serving school districts and communities throughout southeastern Massachusetts. The acquisition adds approximately $35 million in annual revenue and further strengthens STA’s growing footprint across the Northeastern United States.

According to STA, this acquisition is about more than geography and growth; it’s about welcoming a company whose values closely mirror its own.

Founded in the late 1960s with a single station transporting local workers to nearby factories, Tremblay’s has grown into a respected transportation provider in the region. Today, the company serves the New Bedford School Department, Fall River School Department, and Dartmouth School Department, and is widely recognized for its longstanding commitment to safe, reliable service.

For decades, Tremblay’s has supported veterans, public servants, seniors, youth organizations, and charitable causes throughout the greater New Bedford and Fall River area. STA values this local commitment and says it will support the business with corporate resources and best practices to ensure continued growth and success.

“Tremblay’s Bus Company represents exactly the kind of organization we are proud to welcome into the STA Family of Brands,” said Gene Kowalczewski, CEO of Student Transportation of America. “Their commitment to safety, their strong local leadership, and their deep ties to the communities they serve align perfectly with who we are as a company. We are excited to build on Tremblay’s remarkable legacy while continuing to support the students, families, employees, and school districts that have trusted them for generations.”

STA said it will work closely with Tremblay’s leadership and employees to ensure a seamless transition for customers and staff. Day-to-day operations will continue without interruption, and the company looks forward to preserving the strong local relationships that have defined Tremblay’s success for more than half a century.

Last fall, STA announced four acquisitions and over $100 million in annual revenue growth.
