Bus Roadeo
Bus Roadeo competitions are safety competitions held at the Regional, State, and International Level. These competitions are mainly designed to improve driver’s awareness of their surroundings, equipment, and passengers. An obstacle course is set up to simulate passenger stops, right & left turns, intersections, obstacles in the roadway, and stopping ability to name a few.
Since 1984 Jefferson Transit has been competing in Regional and State levels of competition. Starting in 2007 Jefferson Transit began competing on the International level. Agencies range in size and include smaller systems like Jefferson Transit and a larger system like Chicago Metropolitan Transit and Seattle Metro.
