WARMINSTER, Pa. — School bus drivers will test their skills at the 43rd Annual Montgomery-Bucks School Bus Safety Competition with propane-fueled buses for the first time here on Saturday.

Centennial School District will be hosting this event for the third year. The bus drivers will come from 36 districts in Bucks and Montgomery counties, including Centennial School District driver Larry Hannon, who has competed at the regional, state, and international levels for more than 20 years.

Student Transportation of America is donating the 12 Blue Bird Propane Vision buses for the competition. Each bus is equipped with a ROUSH CleanTech propane fuel system, and Liberty Propane is supplying the fuel. These school buses operate during the year in Bristol Township School District.
