According to The Bellingham Herald, Mark Miller, 36, a substitute driver for Bellingham Public Schools, placed first in his division in the NSTA safety competition.
The competition and the award are considered to be the industry’s highest.
“It’s the biggest title in school transportation and it’s a real honor to get to carry the torch for a year,” Miller said. “I can’t imagine a better title to have than to be ranked No. 1 school bus driver.”
Miller, who works full time as a pilot for Allegiant Air and flight instructor at Bellingham International Airport, has worked part time as a substitute bus driver for Bellingham Public Schools since 2009.
