Recently, several of our teams participated in the memorial held in San Jose in remembrance of the victims of the May 26 shooting at Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). There was a bus parade in San Jose, followed by a ceremony at the SAP Center. Our area clients, Sonoma, LAVTA, County Connection, SolTrans and Napa, all sent buses to participate in the parade.
Health & Safety continues to be the top priority for our employees, passengers and the communities in which we operate. Every couple of months, we highlight another overall health & safety-related theme. One of our July/August "Beat the Heat" related sub-themes focuses on Staying Cool in the summer heat and being aware of the signs of potential heat-related illness.
July 26, 2021 marks 31 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. We are proud to support our passengers with disabilities and offer them the freedom to move through safe and reliable transit solutions.
Since 2017, July 25th has been recognized as National Hire A Veteran Day. Transdev is proud that many veterans have chosen our company for their second career.
We recently developed a short, PSA-like video for social media promoting the use of masks on public transportation and reinforcing the current federal mandate. This type of reminder is just another way we can help keep our teams, passengers and communities we serve healthy and safe.
Our team in Phoenix recently hosted their local Channel 15 (ABC affiliate) TV station on site. The station put together a story highlighting the growing trend that people are facing around the need to transition jobs / careers, at different stages of their lives, as a result of pandemic-related job loss. One of Phoenix’s new hires, Operator Joel Nieto, was interviewed.
Community outreach is a critical component of how we do business at our locations. We look forward to helping our communities' kids start the new school year off on the right foot by showing we care and gathering donations of school supplies through our Stuff-A-Bus program.
The health & safety of our employees, passengers and the communities we serve continues to be our top priority. Our commitment to highlight different Health & Safety themes every couple of months continues. We are excited to introduce that our theme for July and August is “Beat the Heat”.
