General Information<br />
Bus operators and mechanics from transit systems across<br />
North America participate in separate competitions, which<br />
showcase their skills in safe driving and vehicle maintenance.<br />
The Operator Competition includes events such as judgment<br />
stops, turning, and clearing obstacles. The Mechanic<br />
Competition requires skills in the identification of defects in<br />
engine, transmission, brake, and HVAC modules. The pre-trip<br />
inspection for operators and multiplex troubleshooting for<br />
mechanics are incorporated as scored events.<br />
