The Equipment ROADeo is a timed competition event for street maintenance and collection systems operators who use heavy equipment to excavate street repairs or excavate to depths for pipe repair on collection systems. The course is designed to replicate normal working conditions with obstacles to simulate everyday working conditions around tree roots, utilities, and sanitary sewer and stormwater pipe systems. Operators will be able to demonstrate their skills through safety awareness, equipment knowledge, and equipment usage. 

A big thank you to our 2026 Equipment Training and ROADeo Sponsors!
