At Transdev, our purpose is to empower the freedom to move every day through safe, reliable, and innovative solutions that serve the common good. This purpose comes to life through the dedication of employees like Robert Arras, Maintenance Manager at our Houston Fixed Route location. With 20 years of service, Robert brings energy and passion to every shift he works, sharing, “When I get to work, I hit the ground running.”
Robert’s leadership is grounded in strong communication and a deep respect for his team. He knows that keeping mechanics engaged is an important part of delivering safe and reliable service, sharing, “I’m engaging with mechanics, and communication is key.”
As a lifelong hands-on problem solver, Robert’s love for maintenance began early in his life and has never left him, saying, “Ever since I was a little kid, I love working with my hands and working on big machines. Transdev is the perfect place for me.”
Today, that same childhood passion fuels his commitment to safety and operational excellence, sharing, “Maintenance is a big part of our operations here at Transdev. Providing safe buses for our passengers is very important to me.” Robert understands that every vehicle his team services plays a role in the passengers’ experience. “Customers rely on us for our great service.”
Through his work, Robert shows what it means to live our Transdev Purpose by caring deeply about the people and communities we serve.
