The Transporting Students with Disabilities & Special Needs Conference, held annually since 1992, offers workable solutions and practical answers to pressing questions about transporting students with special needs — from preschool to adult transition services. It also is designed to not only increase safety for this special student population, but also make local operations more efficient and effective in this challenging economy. This year’s TSD Conference will feature more than three-dozen education sessions and workshops, as well as hands-on training, a trade show and a driver competition. This competition features more than two-dozen teams whose skills are tested in order to crown the nation’s top school bus driver and attendant.
