Over 75 years ago, STM was founded in Waterloo, IA by a woman & today, We are proud to remain a majority woman-owned, private corporation with +75% of our team being female.
There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish. Happy International Women’s Day! #EmbraceEquity

Airplanes have installed advanced air filtration systems that are constantly filtering the air on board the plane. Most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on flights. Those small circular air vents above you are bringing fresh clean filtered air. #TravelTips
Thank you for your continued support and partnership this year more than ever! From a social distance, all of us at STM wish you and yours a very Happy Holiday and a healthy, prosperous New Year.

What you normally rely on a hotel to provide may not be available this year — and even if it is, the less you touch items that others may have also come into contact with, the better. For example, bring your own cups or water bottles for your hotel room. #TravelTips
The less things you have to touch and sanitize the better. Most small carry on bags will fit under the seat in front of you. This way you don't have to touch the overhead bins and reduces the number of times you will have to get up during your flight. #TravelTips
Most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on flights because of how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes. Avoid connecting flights to avoid spending time in another airport. It’s one less location where you might come in contact with the virus. #TravelTips
Trains and airport shuttles put you in closer-than-6-feet contact with others; and if you traveled to the airport in an Uber or taxi, you were in another small space. Instead, consider having someone in your “pod” drop you off at the airport. #TravelTips
Travelers who are enrolled in TSA PreCheck don’t have to remove their shoes, belts, lightweight jackets, electronics or their bag of travel-size liquids and gels. Not only is that convenient, but during a pandemic, it reduces touchpoints. #TravelTips
The MyTSA app provides airline passengers with 24/7 access to the most frequently requested airport security information on any mobile device. Save time and $$ with helpful tips for preparing for security, including a searchable database of items that can and can’t go in luggage.

Some state, local and territorial governments have requirements, such as requiring people to wear masks and requiring those who recently traveled to stay home for up to 14 days. Check the STM COVID-19 Resources page for up to date travel restrictions and advisories. #TravelTips
Instead of handing your boarding pass to a TSA officer at the travel document podium, you should now place your boarding pass on the boarding pass reader yourself. This change reduces the TSA officer’s need to touch your boarding pass reducing potential for cross-contamination.
Ahead of the curve, Short’s Travel Management (STM) has already signed up our Travel Agents that book group travel for this platform so they will be ready when it is available in the US in 2021.

If your driver’s license or state-issued ID expired on or after 3/1/20, and you are unable to renew at your state driver’s license agency, you may still use it as acceptable ID at the checkpoint. TSA will accept expired driver’s licenses or state-issued ID a year after expiration
