February 2022 Employees of the Month

February 2022 Employees of the Month

February 01,2022

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 “Employee of the Month” honors from our Supervision, Maintenance and Transportation divisions. Our candidates are nominated by supervisors at our Central Maintenance Facility and at each of AC Transit’s four bus divisions in Emeryville, Richmond, East Oakland and Hayward. Winners from each 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 “Employee of the Month” winners for February 2022.

Geronimo Picos

Body Mechanic

Geronimo is always looking for more work. In his downtime, he walks the yard and inspects coaches for body damage or imperfections.

Excellent work Geronimo!
