2015 Bus Road-e-o


The transportation department will host the annual School Bus Safety Road-e-o event on Saturday, March 28 at the Eldridge Transportation Center at 7:30 a.m. Employees and their families are invited to attend this fun-filled event that will include music, contestant prizes, food and drinks. 

Held annually, the Road-e-o consists of 12 competitive events for bus drivers, including parallel parking, off-set alley, diminishing clearance and straight line—a challenging event where the bus must be aligned to allow front and rear dual wheels to travel between a row of tennis balls without disturbing them. After the driving events, participants will take a written exam. The competition will be officiated by a group of volunteer judges composed of staff members, assistant directors and former drivers.

The press release for last year's event can be found on the district website.


The top four places in the 2014 CFISD School Bus Safety Road-e-o qualified for the Gulf Coast Chapter of the Texas Association for Pupil Transportation (TAPT) School Bus Safety Road-e-o competition. Pictured are (L-R) Edgar Castiblanco, fourth-place alternate; Helen Nixon, third place; Linda Hair, runner-up; and Cody Smith, first place.
