As part of the 2025 Tennessee Public Transportation Association (TPTA) Annual Conference, NET Trans proudly participated in the Tennessee State Roadeo, an exciting, skills-based competition showcasing the dedication, talent, and professionalism of public transit drivers and mechanics from across the state.
Held in Knoxville, TN, the roadeo brought together transit agencies to compete, learn, and celebrate the essential work of transportation professionals.
The State Roadeo challenges participants with real-world driving scenarios designed to evaluate precision, safety, and customer-focused performance. Drivers navigated tight turns, obstacle courses, passenger loading simulations, and timed maneuvers—all under the pressure of competition.

These events highlight the technical expertise and on-road safety skills required of public transit professionals. Every participant is judged on accuracy, safety, professionalism, and knowledge of their vehicle.
We are excited to share that NET Trans earned top placements in the Conversion Van Division:
2nd Place – Keith Huskins
3rd Place – Jennifer Lawson
Both competitors demonstrated exceptional focus, safe driving skills, and a deep commitment to the passengers they serve every day. Their performance reflects the standards and values NET Trans upholds across all operations.
We are incredibly proud of Keith, Jennifer, and our entire team who represented NET Trans with professionalism and enthusiasm.
Beyond competition, the Tennessee State Roadeo serves as a hub for learning and connection. Drivers and mechanics had the opportunity to:
Share best practices
Learn from peers across the state
Build camaraderie with other transit teams
Celebrate the incredible work public transportation professionals do daily
The roadeo is a reminder that public transit is powered by highly skilled individuals who prioritize safety, service, and community impact.
NET Trans extends its gratitude to everyone who trained, prepared, and supported our participants. The dedication of our drivers, mechanics, and supervisors is what keeps our communities moving safely and reliably.
We look forward to participating again next year and to bringing home even more wins!
