May 20, 2025 | 2:18 PM

Close to 50 school bus drivers from around central Alberta will put their skills to the test this Saturday in the annual school bus road-eo.

This year, the event takes place at St. Joseph High School.

Competitors will be participating from Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools, as well as Chinook’s Edge School Division, Wolf Creek Public Schools, and Prairie Bus Lines (Red Deer Public).

The road-eo will challenge the drivers’ abilities to cross railroads, with diminishing clearance, back-up stalling, and driving in an offset alley, among other things.

“The annual School Bus Road-eo is a fantastic event that allows our dedicated drivers to demonstrate their expertise and commitment to ensuring the safe transportation of students,” said Kelli Pickett, Assistant Transportation Manager.
