Howdy Partners! The 2027 Roadeo is coming your way on Saturday, April 17!

It's time for Maryland's best drivers to get ready for the toughest driver skills challenge in the country. Our 2027 Roadeo returns to MTA's Dorsey MARC Station located at Dorsey Station Dr in Elkridge, MD 21076; just off Route 100. The competition will begin at 9 AM, end around Noon, and will be followed by a banquet lunch. We will honor our competitors and give our winners a rousing send-off to the CTAA National Roadeo.

NEW IN 2027 - Transit Van Division

TAM is excited to announce the return, after more than 10 years, of our Roadeo Van division. We are welcoming competitors in both our Body on Chassis (small bus) and Transit Van Divisions. Both categories of competitors will compete in the same ten on-course obstacle stations (suitably remeasured for the smaller transit vans), a wheelchair securement test, and a pre-trip inspection. 

The top two scorers in the body on chassis division and the top scorer in the transit van division will be given scholarships to attend and compete against the best in the country at the CTAA Roadeo in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 6-7
