Missouri's Best Technician and Inspector Competition

The 2017 Missouri's Best Technician and Inspector Competition was held on Tuesday, July 11, in conjunction with the 52nd Annual Conference and Trade Show.  Co-hosted by MAPT and Student Transportation of America (STA), it took place at the Columbia Public School District's Transportation Facility.

Our thanks to Columbia Public Schools and STA for the use of their facility, and to the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) for their invaluable assistance in putting judging the event.  Finally, a sincere "thank you" to the technicians and inspectors from around the state who participated.

Here are some pictures from that day.
