Event Flyer

The Safety Competition, also known as "Roadeo," is limited to the first 125 entries on a first-come, first-served basis. It is open to all contractor and school district drivers with employer approval and verification. 

The event begins with a written test. Then, contestants get behind the wheel of a bus to put their driving skills to the test, competing in one of three categories – convention, transit, and small bus. Drivers can demonstrate their professionalism, skill, and dedication to pupil transportation throughout the competition. The event concludes with an Awards Ceremony announcing the competition winners.

EMPLOYER VERIFICATION & DRIVER REGISTRATION

Once the employer completes the Employer Application to confirm the driver's eligibility and their registration fee is paid, an email will be sent to the driver and employer confirming their participation.

FOOD | Breakfast, Lunch, and Beverages will be available. No onsite orders and no refunds.
