Started in 1999, the Ontario Transportation Expo conference and trade show is a joint event organized by the Ontario Bus Consortium, which is three partnering associations – the Ontario Motor Coach Association (OMCA), the Ontario Public Transit Association (OPTA) and the School Bus Ontario (SBO). This event is a combination of buyers and sellers from the entire bus transportation industry, not found anywhere else in Canada. For more information visit www.ote.ca – hope to see you at OTE.
