2025 International Safety CompititionRoadeo Wrap Up
Congratulations to All – A Competition Well Done! As Al Sauvadon would say, “You all are winners in my book!” That sentiment couldn’t be more fitting as we celebrate the success of this year’s 68 th School Bus Safety Roadeo season. We kicked things off with the Southern Sectional on Saturday, April 26, 2025, in Ontario, CA, where we welcomed 62 contestants, including 23 in the Novice category. Despite the challenges of a new venue and unpredictable weather, the Roadeo Committee and our dedicated volunteers ensured a smooth and successful event for all participants. Just a week later, the excitement continued at the Northern Sectional on Saturday, May 3, 2025, in Galt, CA, with 86 contestants, including 20 Novices. It was a fantastic day filled with skill, learning, and camaraderie. The season wrapped up on Sunday, May 25, 2025, back in Galt, CA, with the CASTO State Championship Roadeo—a truly outstanding event made possible in partnership with the California Department of Education, Office of School Transportation (OST). This final showdown brought together the top drivers from both Sectionals to compete and connect. These events simply wouldn’t be possible without the Roadeo Committee, Sponsors and the amazing volunteers. Your time, energy, and enthusiasm not only support the Roadeo itself but help bring together people from across the school transportation industry. Thank you for all that you do—you make these events meaningful and memorable! Looking Ahead to 2026! We’re already looking forward to hosting even bigger and better events next year! Help us spread the word—share with your neighboring school districts, contractors, and school transportation colleagues. We’d love to see even more participants and supporters at the 69th Annual School Bus Safety Roadeo in April and May 2026! Let’s keep growing, learning, and celebrating the amazing work of school bus drivers across California. See you next year! On behalf of the Roadeo Committee, Thank you! Respectfully, Jennifer Hanshew CASTO State Roadeo Chair 2025 Championship Roadeo | Presidents MessagePresidents Message Dear CASTO Members,
I was honored to support our incredible California contestants at the 2025 International Safety Competition in Austin last weekend. Representing our state with professionalism and pride, these individuals put their skills to the test in the Texas heat—behind the wheel of buses they had never driven before, and up against top drivers from across the U.S. and Canada. In the Type C category, Marco Mitreonofre from Zum Los Angeles and Liviu Convaciu from Yuba City Unified School District did a fantastic job. In the Type D category, we were proudly represented by Danelle Adams from Roseville Joint Union High School District and Sergio Duenas from First Student Riverside. I’m thrilled to share that Danelle Adams placed 2nd overall—an outstanding achievement! And if you’ve never thought about competing before, consider this: Marco has only been driving a school bus for five months. It’s never too early—or too late—to challenge yourself. Dust off your boots and start preparing for 2026! Wishing everyone some well-earned rest and relaxation this summer. Here’s to making 2025–2026 our best school year yet!
