TriMet News: Recognizing your operator on Transit Driver Appreciation Day

TriMet sent this bulletin at 03/13/2019 10:03 AM PDT
Early in the morning and late at night, day after day, TriMet’s bus and train operators are there for you. They’re driving safely, watching for the unexpected, keeping on time and getting you where you need to go. They’re the heartbeat of our community, often the first to greet you in the morning and the last to wish you a good night. They’re the friendly but sometimes anonymous faces at the helm of TriMet’s buses and MAX trains and the operators at the controls of the City of Portland’s streetcars. They’re the operators assisting riders on our LIFT paratransit service and the conductors on WES Commuter Rail. They’re drivers, but they’re much more. They’re our relatives, neighbors and friends. In addition to a safe, comfortable ride, they offer help, often accompanied by a kind word or a smile. We know our riders value our drivers. Show them just how much you care with a courteous gesture on Monday, March 18 — Transit Driver Appreciation Day. More
