Safety Roadeo Winners Stand Together to Make Streets Safer

The entire agency came out last Saturday morning to focus on the skills that keep Muni's buses and the Go-4 vehicles used by parking control officers operating safely on our streets. Operators and parking control officers work hard to drive expertly and safely. With the traning division's support, they displayed these skills at the SFMTA's 31st Bus Roadeo.

Vintage, modern and guest system buses line up as part of Saturday's celebration.

We are very excited to share some of the highlights of the event and extend our congratulations to the winners. The winner of the transit competition, Kevn Grady who is also the reigning international champ — is elligible to represent the SFMTA at the American Public Transportation Association International Roadeo.
