It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to keep AC Transit buses on the road and running smoothly. Each month, the District honors the service of those drivers and mechanics who contribute directly to this effort by awarding seven “Employees of the Month” from our Maintenance and Transportation divisions.
Candidates are nominated by supervisors at each of AC Transit’s three bus divisions in Emeryville, East Oakland, and Hayward, as well as our Central Maintenance Facility. Two winners from each of division (and one from the Central Maintenance Facility) are selected by the division Superintendent. Each winner receives a gift certificate to a local restaurant.
We are pleased to announce the seven “Employees of the Month” winners for September 2104.
