  1. And for those curious about a "bus rodeo"...or Roadeo as we call it...it's a competition for bus drivers to demonstrate skill. They're graded on a pre-trip inspection, wheelchair securement, and various driving obstacles. The winner goes on to a national competition, this year in San Diego. It's actually kinda fun. Here's a video a friend shot a few years ago.

    Some mild trash talking by the announcer: "Backing up during service, must be a Cabot thing"

  11. Home from the Roadeo, cleaned up and tired. GREAT event this year, ran smoothly, no hiccups or calamities. We give six prizes: First, Second, and Third place, Fastest Time, Best Wheelchair Securement Score, and Rookie of the Year for drivers competing for the first time. Same first-place winner as last year (his fifth, and he's going for ten), but it was sweet seeing our Rookie of the Year, a young driver from Howard County, also winning Second Place. It was heartwarming to see him so happy and proud, and his coworkers all cheering for him. He takes his job seriously and it gives me joy to know there are public transit drivers out there like him. Our Best Wheelchair Securement winner was a sweet lady who got a PERFECT score and they tell me she's known in her agency as the best one for dealing with people in mobility devices.

    Met folks from all around the state, and I do seem to attract the western MD folks around me. But now? I'm a wreck. A WRECK. Don't bug me for a while.

  16. And here's a video a friend shot of last year's Roadeo. If you're in the Baltimore/Annapolis/Columbia area and are interested, you're free to come by and watch. I may not get to say hi because I'll be running around like crazy helping run the thing, but I can wave, at least. Competition starts at 9:00 at the Dorsey MARC station, at Exit 7 on Rt 100.

  21. And what's a Roadeo, you ask? It's a competition for bus drivers from around the state, testing their abilities. It includes a safety inspection, proper mobility device securement, and an obstacle course that drivers must negotiate safely. This all promotes safety and skill in the world of public transit, and the winners go on to a national competition.
