Good morning, Canton.

Canton bus driver Rod Ballard began his career in 2020 and now trains new recruits by sharing practical tips—helping fresh drivers learn the trade.

He uses his own experience to guide them toward safe and efficient city driving.

The Canton Museum of Art launched a new digital guide in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies that gives visitors interactive access to in-depth insights about the collection and behind-the-scenes features—accessible online or through the Bloomberg Connects mobile app.

Canton City Schools hosted a Test Drive a School Bus event on July 23 to attract new drivers for the 2025-26 school year amid a nationwide shortage, and community members got a chance to try driving a bus.

Instructor Rod Ballard (who began in 2020) said that driving slow and steady (a key skill) is important for safety.

During a May 24 visit to Canton, Jared Allen said he embraced Christian values—marking his turnaround from a troubled past—and his transformation led to his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025.
