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. Our candidates are nominated by supervisors at each of AC Transit’s three bus divisions in Emeryville, East Oakland, Hayward, and our Central Maintenance Facility. Two winners from each of division (and one from the Central Maintenance Facility) are selected by the Superintendent of the division. Each winner receives a gift certificate to a local restaurant.
We are pleased to announce the seven “Employees of the Month” winners for July 2016.

Lastly, he is very reliable and gives people what they need when they need it. Marlon is an excellent representative for the division. Thank you Mr. Cereca for all of your service.
Bus Operator
An AC Transit rider recently stated that “I never once saw him in a foul mood, he was always ready with a smile and greeting, followed by a question regarding how one’s day was going. Whether in transit to campus or my trip home, his upbeat personality always made me forget the stresses of my studies.” Just as this customer, I believe Operator Delvie Davis deserves special recognition for being the shining light of the AC Transit team by displaying outstanding customer service and professionalism.
