The Rochester Area
Transportation Supervisors Association was founded in 1967. This page honors
those leaders who founded and served this organization. We are grateful for
their vision and commitment to the children that we provide transportation to
each school day.

On January 14, 2006, we lost one of our active RATSA members (Carl J. Bushman)
suddenly. Carl was the Director of Transportation for Penfield Central School
District. He was instrumental in launching our September - 2005 television
safety campaign. Carl will be missed by everyone that was fortunate enough to
know him!
