To recognize school bus drivers with outstanding safe driving records, eligible drivers will receive certificates commemorating 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years of school bus driving without a “preventable accident.” A “Preventable accident” is defined by the National Safety Council as “any accident in which the driver failed to do everything reasonable to prevent the accident.”

Employers and school districts are invited to nominate any Massachusetts school bus drivers who qualify for awards based on the accident-free intervals stated above. (Milestone years of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30.)

The deadline for receipt of nominations is April 2, 2023.  There can be no exceptions to this deadline. The enforcement of this deadline is made necessary to permit time for the preparation of the awards and review of driver eligibility.

Drivers must be present to receive their awards on Saturday, May 6, 2023^.  The labor and cost of shipping to absent drivers is prohibitive.

“Accident free” driving for purposes of this award refers to school bus operations only and will not include accidents in private vehicles.

A fee of $ 15.00 per nominated driver will be charged to cover the cost of driver recognition awards.
