Last Updated on: 17th April 2023, 10:19 am

Students, show your driver you care – Create a thank you card!

Saturday, May 27, 2023, is OSTA’s Driver Appreciation Day, a day in which we recognize and thank our many dedicated drivers and walking school bus (WSB) leaders for getting students to and from school safely every day. We commend all yellow bus, wheelchair bus, van drivers, and walking school bus (WSB) leaders who have gone above and beyond their duties to ensure children in our city have access to education.

Help us recognize all drivers and WSB leaders by sharing your thanks with us so your yellow bus, wheelchair bus, van driver or walking school bus (WSB) leader gets the recognition they deserve! You can hand in a hardcopy of your card to your school office to send to OSTA or you can submit online – just follow the instructions below!
