October Employees of the Month
October Employees of the Month
Keeping AC Transit buses on the road and running smoothly takes hard work and dedication. Each month, the District recognizes the outstanding service of drivers and mechanics by awarding “Employee of the Month” honors in the Supervision, Maintenance, and Transportation divisions.
Supervisors at the Central Maintenance Facility and AC Transit’s four bus divisions—Emeryville, Richmond, East Oakland, and Hayward—nominate candidates. Superintendents then review the nominations and select one transportation and one maintenance employee from each division, along with one from the Central Maintenance Facility.
Honorees receive a gift certificate to a local restaurant in appreciation of their contributions.
We are pleased to announce the Employees of the Month for October 2026.
