Briefly: About our Association

The Rochester Area School Bus Safety Road-eo (RASBSRA), began in 1978 to promote school bus safety and professionalism.

Annual road-eos are hosted by member school bus transportation departments with the support of their respective operators (school districts or private transportation organizations).

Rochester Area Transportation Supervisors Association (RATSA) is the Rochester Chapter of the New York Association for Pupil Transportation. Transportation Departments or Services must be members of RATSA to participate in the Rochester Area Road-eo.
