Chapter Highlights

CASTO Chapter 1 Roadeo

Chapter 1 held their annual School Bus Roadeo and it was a great success! We had a total of 34 contestants who participated. The day was made possible with the support of our Chapter Board, the Retiree Committee and over 25 wonderful judges who helped assess the participants’ skills across 7 different events.

The event not only showcased the incredible driving skills of the contestants but also celebrated the achievements of the top performers. A huge CONGRATULATIONS to all of our award winners and prize winners – their hard work and dedication truly stood out!

Additionally, we were thrilled to have RIDE join us and provide an electric demo bus. This was an excellent opportunity for attendees to experience firsthand the potential of electric school buses, adding an innovative and environmentally friendly element to the event.
