Thank you to the transit professionals who keep us moving!

March 18 is National Transit Employee Appreciation Day. Today (and every day) we’re shouting out all the people who get us where we’re going safely.

This one's for our drivers, because we know to you, it’s more than just a job. 

Hear from some Via riders around the country as they share their appreciation for the drivers in their communities:

Birmingham On-Demand
“Great butter smooth driving, informative, knows his regular passengers and willing to go the extra mile. Now if that ain't professional service I'll eat my hat!”
Jerry S. — Birmingham On-Demand Rider
HRT
“I like how the app shows me exactly where the driver is. The drivers have been so NICE and caring for my Mom who has dementia. We have had really great drivers that take extra care of Mom.”
Marian S. — HRT Paratransit Rider
The City of Arlington
“I had a wonderful conversation with a Via driver. He was an excellent driver and made sure to get me to my destination safely and quickly.”
