Remote Connections Along with the student transportation industry as a
whole, School Transportation News had to pivot its in- person conferences to reflect the current health crisis. While seeing colleagues and industry professionals through the computer screen isn’t as fun as meeting with everyone in person, the virtual events give attendees and vendors a chance to network and share ideas and topics that are challenging the industry. Starting with the Bus Technology Summit in September, then TSD Virtual in November and the STN EXPO Virtual in January, attendees raved about how the virtual events have provided access to joining vital conversations on navigating the pandemic. Stay tuned for details on upcoming virtual events, including the Green Bus Summit next month.
