Northstar and American Student Transportation Recognized for Excellence in Safety

Safety is at the heart of student transportation. Every day, our teams work together to create a strong safety culture and keep students, families, and one another in mind.

That commitment has earned Northstar Bus Lines and American Student Transportation an Excellence in Safety award from Insurance Company of the West, Inc. (ICW).

The recognition is especially meaningful: among more than 800 ICW clients, Northstar and AST were one of only three organizations selected to receive the award. It recognizes the team’s dedication to maintaining a strong safety culture—and reflects measurable progress, too. Year over year, the companies reduced workers’ compensation injuries by 60%.

This achievement belongs to the people who make safety a priority throughout the organization. Congratulations to Sue, Mike, and Tim for their efforts and leadership. Their work is part of a larger team commitment that continues every day, on every route and across both companies.

We’re proud of this recognition and grateful to everyone who helps make safety a shared responsibility. Thank you to ICW for honoring our team’s commitment to safety.

Congratulations to the Northstar and American Student Transportation team!
