Today we are celebrating Transit Driver Appreciation Day and while this past year has been especially challenging, our drivers have risen to meet new obstacles and been on the front lines throughout this pandemic. We would just like to take a moment and thank the drivers for the great work they do each day.

Transit drivers are the lifeblood of our industry and without them, residents, students and workers would not be able to get to their essential activities. Now with COVID-19 impacting the nation, transit drivers are even more vital in providing critical transportation services for essential workers.

We look forward to seeing how each transit system is celebrating this day and will be gathering stories and pictures to share in an upcoming newsletter. Don’t forget to tag #TDAD2021 on your social media posts.

From all of us at IPTA, thank you to each and every driver.
