Rolling V driver Corey McAbier wins NYSBCA ‘Rookie of the Year’ award SOUTH FALLSBURG – Rolling V Bus Corp., a Catskill Region-based school bus transportation company, announced one of its new drivers, Corey McAbier, earned the “Rookie of the Year� award from the New York School Bus Contractors Association (NYSBCA). The NYSBCA’s 46th Annual New York State School Bus Safety Competition was held at Rockland Lake State Park in Valley Cottage in May, with more than 100 drivers taking part. McAbier not only won the Rookie of the Year award, honoring the best new driver at the competition, but also took first place in the category of Conventional Bus (Type C). “The event was a lot of fun, and it was an honor to be able to take home
a couple of awards for Rolling V,� said McAbier. “Watching all of the drivers who were present, it was evident just how many great bus drivers there are in New York State and how safe kids are in their hands every single day. The awards are great, but knowing there is that level of safety and care from all of us drivers is comforting.� McAbier, 26, lives in Neversink. He has worked with Rolling V since March 2016 and currently is a driver for Tri-Valley Central School District out of Rolling V’s Neversink Terminal. Corey went through the company’s commercial driver license program and received his license in February 2016. He is also a volunteer firefighter in Neversink. PLEASE SEE WINNER, PAGE 15H
