About the Wild West Bus Roadeo

The Wild West Bus Roadeo is dedicated to promoting Public Safety on Nevada's roads.

Do you recall your first driving test, carefully maneuvering through pylons and narrow alleys, trying your patience and skills? Now, imagine doing the same in an eighteen ton, or greater, forty-plus feet long vehicle. Tighten the course for competition and add a few more difficult maneuvers then set a time limit and you get an idea of what a Roadeo is all about.

Roadeos, that's R-O-A-D-E-O, are safety and skill events that are hosted by public agencies, such as the American Public Transporation Association, Regional Transportation Commission, Washoe County School District and private trucking companies.
