Ohio School Bus Driver REGIONAL ROAD-E-O Saturday, April 20, 2024

3/1/2024

The regional Road-e-o’s will take place on Saturday, April 20, 2024.
 
With some modified events for both the Regional and State competition, an updated Driver’s Handbook and a New Event guide is posted on both the State Road-e-o and Department’s websites. This year’s events will challenge drivers of all levels. Registration forms can be found in the handbooks, and the regional registration deadline is April 13, 2024. The registration fee is $20.
 
We strongly encourage everyone to participate and use this event as an additional learning tool to enhance drivers’ skills. Also, it is a great opportunity for drivers to use this event for recertification.
 
If you have any questions or need additional information about this year’s events, please contact your regional pre-service instructor as listed below. We look forward to seeing you there!

This year's theme for regionals: Flower Power. Let's see those creative team themes!
