Earlier this year, School Bus Fleet introduced readers to an exciting group of school transportation experts under the age of 40. Now we’re looking for the next bunch of SBF Trailblazers to feature in the magazine in early 2024.
Whether you work behind the wheel, under the hood, or back at headquarters, we’re looking for innovative young leaders who want to advance the industry and meet the needs of students, parents, and schools alike.
So, if you’re a school transportation leader who’s still going to be under 40 in January 2024 (or know someone who fits the bill), we want to hear from you. Reach out to Wes Platt, SBF’s executive editor, at wes.platt@bobit.com. Potential Trailblazers will be invited to fill out a brief questionnaire and submit a photograph for possible inclusion in the print magazine and on this website.
