The Alexandra School & Learner Transport Organisation (ASTO) was established in 1999 with a commitment to providing safe, reliable, and affordable transport for school-going children in the Greater Alexandra area. The organization's vision is to create a transport system characterized by its Reliability, Affordability, and Safety (RAS), ensuring that every child has access to essential transport services that contribute to their social development and future economic growth.

ASTO aims to foster a strong sense of community while advocating for the needs of learners and their families. Their mission, “Transporting the Leaders of Tomorrow, Today,” reflects their dedication to the safety and well-being of the children they serve. As a registered organization with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) and affiliated with the Gauteng Education Transport Service (GETS), ASTO prioritizes quality and accountability in its operations.

The organization offers services designed to enhance transportation for all learners, collaborating with local authorities to promote safety and accessibility. By joining ASTO, members gain access to valuable resources and can participate in community discussions related to transport issues. Membership is open to individuals over 18 residing in the Greater Alexandra area, including parents, guardians, and school staff. The application process is straightforward, requiring a completed form and a joining fee set by the Executive Committee.

ASTO upholds a non-discrimination policy, ensuring that all decisions are made without regard to race, gender, disability, or any other protected characteristic. The organization encourages community members to join in making a positive impact on the lives of learners in their community.
