The online Trip Planner is an internet-based software application that allows you to enter origin and destination points and have our computer system create multiple

travel options for you. You can sort the results by trip time, walking distance or by the number of transfers it will take to complete your trip. Each proposed trip has a link to

more details about that trip including transfer points and an accompanying map.

Ridership Equal males and females.

The majority of riders are between the ages of 19 and 34.

Most riders use the bus five days a week and have ridden for three years.

Our riders: 33% students, 46% employed, 11% unemployed, 10% retired or homemakers.

Sixty-eight percent of riders would not have regular transportation without STA.

STA’s three new diesel-electric hybrid buses produce up to 60 percent fewer nitrogen oxide emissions and 90 percent fewer particulate, hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide emissions. Over the course of a 15-year service life, each hybrid coach will reduce CO2 emissions by 440 tons and use 40,005 gallons less

diesel fuel than a standard coach. Additionally, sound levels produced by a hybrid coach are comparable to those of a typical passenger truck.
