COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on industry events this year, with the widespread cancellation of state and national conferences and trade shows. But School Transportation News isn’t going down without a fight.
In addition to rescheduling STN EXPO Indianapolis + TSD Conference for Oct. 8-13 and STN EXPO Reno for Nov. 1-5, virtual training is coming at no cost to attendees.
The inaugural and virtual Bus Technology Summit is scheduled for Sept. 21-24, with a focus on how industry suppliers are meeting today’s challenges with software and equipment designed to make student transportation even safer and more efficient.
Topics will cover technological innovations and equipment that are addressing the new COVID-19 environment. For example, routing for bell-time changes and split schedules, implementing tablets and student tracking, decision-making on video system purchases, utilizing GPS and collision mitigation solutions, turning the school bus into a contact tracing tool, and more.
The event will also feature a virtual trade show and additional networking opportunities.
