Transit operators keep us moving. Whether on a bus, train, lightrail, or ferry, transit operators make these systems run and help tens of thousands of people get where we need to go each week. In the last two years, transit operators have also served as frontline workers, keeping crucial connections for our communities and economies in service.

Friday, March 18, is Transit Operator Appreciation Day and we’re planning to say thanks to operators and agencies across Washington.

We want your help! Submit your message of thanks for an individual operator, the route you ride most, or the transit agency that serves your area. Be as detailed or general as you want, but take a minute to explain how this service matters in your life. TCC will deliver message directly to agencies on March 18.

If you prefer, you can also email stories to McKenna Lux, TCC’s Engagement & Events Manager, at mckenna@transportationchoices.org
