Victor Valley Transit is holding its 11th Annual Bus Roadeo on February 11th, and this year we are hosting an online opportunity to you, our passengers! You now can guess and vote on which of your favorite participating bus operator will win! If your Bus Operator wins in the Roadeo, you will have an opportunity to receive a Samsung Galaxy Tab A or 31-Day Bus Pass!
The VVTA Bus Roadeo is an annual safety and skills competition for bus operators who volunteer to participate. A Bus Roadeo is a behind-the-wheel skills and safety test in which drivers navigate an obstacle course and execute maneuvers such as the “Serpentine,” “Offset Street” and “Rear Dual Clearance.” 1st Place Winners can advance to state, regional or even international contests. The first bus Roadeo was held in 1975 and is an annual tradition throughout the transit industry to this day!
