The Indiana Para transit ROADEO is an event that takes place annually, giving drivers from all around the state the opportunity to compete and show off their skills. The ROADEO recognizes driver strengths and promotes the importance of day-to-day public service and professionalism.
This year the annual Roadeo was held on April 16th at Ceraland Park in Columbus, IN. There were fourteen (14) drivers from seven (7) different agencies that competed, and although it was cold and rainy it was a great day.
