George Carroll

Featured speaker
2022 Conference

​The Kansas State Pupil Transportation Association is pleased to announce that George Carroll has been selected as the featured speaker for the 2022 School Transportation Safety Conference.

George Carroll is a high energy speaker and single father of two.  He has a laugh-out-loud sense of humor that leaves everyone feeling inspired and ready to tackle anything.  He is a professional speaker, trainer and author – and an advocate for the school transportation industry.  His mission is to help individuals in the school transportation profession feel valued, appreciated and celebrated because “they deserve it”!
      George dedicates his book “Unsung Heroes” to our everyday heroes - the school bus driver.  Thank you for the work you do.  I hope this book helps you feel valued, appreciated and important because you deserve to know how much of a difference you make in the lives of the kids you transport.  Remember, sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can go a long way.  The attitude you bring to your bus each and every day will influence the entire culture of your bus.  Always remember: YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
     George will present plenary programs at the conference on Thursday afternoon, Friday morning, and finally his inspirational message to school transportation personnel after lunch on Friday afternoon.
     The 2022 School Transportation Safety Conference is scheduled for June 1-3 at Tony’s Pizza Event Center, Salina, KS.  The event kicks off on Wednesday, June 1 with the State Safe Driver Competition, followed by two days (June 2-3) of educational workshops designed for every person on the school transportation team.  The conference concludes with the association’s annual banquet and awards ceremony on Friday evening.
