School Bus Driver Appreciation Day

School Bus Driver Appreciation Day

The Ohio legislature has designated the first Monday in May as “School Bus Driver Appreciation Day.”

This day is an opportunity for Ohioans to reflect upon the outstanding job performance of more than 15,000 school bus drivers who transport students to and from school and school-related events throughout the year.

Please take a moment to thank the men and women working in your transportation department for the efforts they make in keeping Ohio’s children safe each day.
