The 2025 Frontline Conference & Roadeo is scheduled for July 31st - August 3rd. The Frontline Conference brings together transportation agencies, vendors, and other stakeholders for training and networking in a family-friendly, two-day event.

The Michigan Small Bus Roadeo is an event to honor and celebrate the value of rural and community transit operators, the backbone of the Transportation industry. This exciting event draws drivers from around the state to compete for top scores on a course that tests skills on every level of the drivers’ abilities, with a primary focus on safe operations and passenger sensitivity. This year the roadeo will be held on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, MI.
