Saw Jon speak at the Student Transportation Network-West Conf.

I got the card in Jon's book. It is significant because our company, Minnesota Coaches, which has about 1500 school bus, motorcoach and support teammates, has just written down Our Purpose for the first time in 65 years as a company. It is, "We exist to unlock education and experiences." That is significance!

How?

The General Manager of the water district where I work gave me the card. He thought I would enjoy the stories in the book and this card was attached to the inside of the back cover.

I will give this card to the next person who demonstrates in action or words that other DO people care. There is too much negativity around us, and many people seem to have forgotten that kindness and compassion matter.

Jon Petz

Attending the keynote session at the STN Expo was more than just a professional experience—it was a moment of inspiration and affirmation. Surrounded by passionate leaders and changemakers in student transportation, I was reminded why this work matters so deeply. The stories shared, the challenges faced, and the vision for safer, more compassionate transportation echoed everything I strive to promote. It reignited my purpose and opened doors to expand the reach of my message—ensuring that every student’s journey is protected, valued, and approached with intention. This platform has allowed me to connect with a broader network of like-minded professionals, and together, we are pushing the boundaries of what safe student transportation can and should look like.
