Pennsylvania School Bus and Van Drivers Rally to Support Residents in
Western North Carolina.

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Krise Transportation, the Punxsutawney, PA-based partner of American Student Transportation Partners (ASTP) and a leader in safe, reliable student transportation across Pennsylvania, is actively working to provide relief to those affected by Hurricane Helene. Established in 2021, ASTP is driving the future of student transportation by focusing on customers, embracing technology, and leading with a people-first approach. The company refers to its team members as "HEROES" and has built contemporary and digitally enabled marketing, recruiting, and training programs. ASTP seeks to deliver great service, every day, to families, students, and business partners.

School bus and van drivers play an essential role in the lives of children, and the Krise HEROES go above and beyond to ensure the welfare and well-being of their students and the communities they serve. When the news about the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene on Western North Carolina reached Krise Transportation, the team of HEROES knew they had to act.

Team members at the Pennsylvania-based company quickly mobilized its 32 school bus terminals across the commonwealth to collect essential supplies for those affected by the storm. Krise Transportation reached out to its employees, their families, and local communities for donations of much-needed items such as water, non-perishable food, blankets, and other necessities. The overwhelming response resulted in enough supplies to fill two semi-trucks, which will be delivered to the Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry (ABCCM) on November 7, 2024.

"Krise Transportation bus and van drivers are at the core of our operations. This dedicated team has made a significant impact in their communities throughout Pennsylvania. By reaching across state lines to support those in need, we demonstrate that compassion knows no boundaries. Together, we can truly make a difference" – states Mike Massaro, President of Krise Transportation, Inc.
