NHSTA and DOS/DMV leadership honored TFC Greg Hildreth on Saturday for his 5+ years of service and commitment to the school bus community. He’s returning to full-time duty as a NH State Trooper. We consider ourselves lucky to have had him advocating for us and the students our members serve. He’ll still be watching out for us on the road. All the best “Trooper Greg!”
