Minnesota School Bus Train The Trainer
Instructor Seminars
July 6 – 10, 2015
Grand Hinckley Conference Center
Training sessions for driver trainers, managers, dispatchers,
bus technicians and special education
In recognition of the 25th
Anniversary of Train The Trainer,
MAPT is pulling out all the stops
for 2015.
In cooperation with Pine County
Emergency Management and EMS,
this year’s event will include a
mock crash, reenacting the
Cottonwood bus tragedy.
Join us as we walk through that
fateful day, the steps taken by
emergency responders, school
district staff, and transportation
personnel. Following the hands-on
portion, we will convene a panel
inside to share perspectives,
experiences and answer questions.
A portion of dollars from that day’s
event will go toward a scholarship
in the name of those lives lost in
the crash.
This training is an excellent - and
rare - opportunity for all school
district personnel, including
superintendents, crisis team
members, and more.
Train the Trainer is one of the premier school bus
training events in the Midwest.
Drivers, dispatchers, trainers, mechanics, supervisors,
special education staff, and other school district
personnel will all benefit from this seminar.
This seminar is laid out in several tracks so you will be
able to pick and choose the topic that most pertains to
your position or interests.
Tracks are designed for School Bus Technicians, Driver
Training, Wheelchair and Wheelchair Lift Training,
Dispatchers, Management, and Special Transportation;
as well as Agency Updates from Minnesota DVS and
Minnesota State Patrol.
What’s New for 2015?

Did You Know?
Five years before the evolution of Train The Trainer Seminars, the Minnesota Legislature
approved a bill providing $50,000 for school bus safety training. The legislation was signed into law
by Governor Rudy Perpich.
In July 1991, the first Train The Trainer was presented at the Rosemount Technical Center.
For 12 years, Train The Trainer Seminars were conducted at the St. Cloud Holiday Inn.
In 2014, the 24th Annual Train The Trainer Seminar attracted a record number of attendees.

How Well Do You Know Bus History?
• The North American “Yellow” school bus first appeared in
1939. The actual name for the yellow color is “National
School Bus Glossy Yellow” and is a federal regulation.
• The word “Bus” is derived from the word “Omnibus”, a
Latin word meaning “For all.”
• Thomas Built is the first school bus manufacturer to
achieve a “Zero Waste” status.
• The first double-decker bus was actually an 18th century
horse-drawn coach where passengers would frequently sit
on the top.
• The first steel body school bus was built in the 1930’s by
Wayne Co.
• Before 1920, school buses had cloth curtains rather than
glass windows.
• It wasn’t until the 1930’s when truck designs were being
customized into the more modern school bus chassis.
