Transit Driver Appreciation Day couldn\u2019t come at a better time. Wednesday, March 18 marked a day we say \u2018thank you\u2019 to our drivers who continue to show up to work and take riders where they need to go, especially right now, during a global health crisis hitting close to home. They\u2019re the friendly faces you see each and every day on your transit routes. They greet you, check fares, give directions, answer your questions, and more\u2026 all while maneuvering a large vehicle through the streets of Southern Nevada.<\/p>\r\n
The agency understands that our contractors\u2019 drivers play a crucial role in helping to move more than 65 million passengers a year. These drivers have a lot on their plate on any given day. After all, it takes a lot to keep the wheels rolling on the nation\u2019s 12th largest bus transit system. We\u2019re talking about more than 400 vehicles and nearly 40 transit routes. We appreciate the drivers\u2019 commitment, passion and customer service that transports our residents and visitors safely throughout the entire community. We\u2019re not the only ones who feel that way though. While Transit Driver Appreciation Day is once a year, remember that it\u2019s always a good time to say thank you!<\/p>\r\n
