D-49 Bus Driver Named 2009 Driver Of The Year

EL PASO COUNTY – R.J. Berry has been selected as the 2009 Driver of the Year by the Colorado State Pupil Transportation Association.

R.J. is best known for Santa’s Toy Express, a project he founded in 2002 to help some of the neediest kids in our district. Thanks to R.J., dozens of D-49 students have had a holiday full of laughter and fun despite any challenges they may have been facing.

According to Cindy Hardin, D-49 Director of Transportation, R.J.’s teamwork and camaraderie for the last seven years has been an inspiration.
