Chester County Bus Drivers Win Statewide Safety Competition

Three school bus drivers from Chester County have been honored in a statewide safety competition.

Shanon O'Brien and Ruth Del Vecchio took first and second in the "conventional bus" category, while Cheryl Vogelsang took second in the "transit style bus" category.

PennDOT Bureau of Driver Licensing Director Kara Templeton and Lt. Robert Krol, Director of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Division in the Bureau of Patrol for the Pennsylvania State Police, presented the awards at Gov. Wolf's residence in Harrisburg.

“Bus drivers do an extraordinary job every day ensuring the safety of our children as they travel to and from school,” said Lt. Krol. “These drivers serve as a model for all school bus drivers and this recognition further reinforces the trust parents have in them.”

O'Brien and Del Vecchio both drive for Krapf Bus Companies in Chester County, while Vogelsand drives for Eagle Wolfington in the county.

Congratulations, drivers!
