STP Solutions - Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region

School Travel Planning solutions aim to create better environments for children’s active travel and independent mobility. Every school community is unique, and so we offer a large range of solutions they may choose. If we don’t have what a school needs, we’ll work with them to create it!
