Michigan Drivers to Compete in 43rd Annual Small Bus Roadeo
Michigan Ag Connection - 07/19/2018
The 43rd Annual Michigan Small Bus Roadeo is a statewide bus operators' skills test competition and training event to determine the best small bus public transit drivers in Michigan. Competitors must take a written test, navigate an obstacle course, assist a
passenger using a wheelchair, and conduct a vehicle safety inspection at the event. The Roadeo reinforces safe driving habits and professionalism behind the wheel while ensuring passenger safety.
Approximately 40 bus drivers representing 18 transit agencies as well as representatives from the Michigan Association of Transportation Systems (MASSTrans), Michigan Public Transit Association (MPTA), Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT),
corporate sponsors and the public will participate in the day-long event Aug. 9 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. (approximately)
The Roadeo takes place at Boyne Mountain Resort in Boyne Falls.
Members of law enforcement, transit agency managers, MDOT staff, and other volunteers will serve as judges. Winners will be announced at a luncheon on Aug. 9. The top three winners in the individual competition are eligible to compete in the national
competition next spring at the Community Transportation Association of America's National Bus Roadeo held during its annual expo.
Gov. Rick Snyder has proclaimed Aug. 8, 2018, as Public Transit Bus Driver Day in the state of Michigan.
