Today, DART celebrates Transit Employee Appreciation Day! This holiday honors transit employees, ranging from bus operators to maintenance staff. At DART, we are recognizing nearly 200 employees serving in many different critical roles. If you ride DART today, be sure to thank your operator for their committment to safety and service. Here are a few employees we chose to spotlight this year:
Justin, Fixed Route Operator
"I like driving the bus and being connected to the community."
Kurt, Paratransit Operator and Trainer
"I have the chance to give back to the community, and I've gotten to know my clients really well. When they see me, they know they're going to be in good hands. DART has also supported me when I needed it, and I am grateful for the team."
Danny, Bus Servicer
"The best parts about working for DART are the environment and the hours I work."
Billy, Inventory Specialist
"I like my supervisor and the guys I work with. The benefits are also great at DART."
Mikey, Interior Cleaner
"I have had this job for 13 years, and I like the work and the reliability."
We are grateful for these employees and everyone on the DART team that keep us moving.
