It's time for the third round of Trailblazers! Know an innovative up-and-comer who’s under 40 and working in student transportation? Nominate them!
Nominees can be from any arm of the industry, whether a school district, contractor, supplier, OEM, association, or something else. We’re looking for exemplary young leaders who are already making waves, advancing their teams, and showing initiative and leadership to make K-12 transportation safe, efficient, and reliable.
Self-nominations are eligible.
Note: Although multiple nominations for the same individual are allowed, the selection process will prioritize the strength and substance of each nominee's submission(s) over the number of nominations received.
Send in the great up-and-comers you know under 40 for a chance for them to grace the pages of School Bus Fleet's April/May 2025 print magazine and be recognized on our website.
