November sparks the season of gratitude. With the Spirit of Thanksgiving, the Department of Transportation wants to recognize GoDurham, GoDurham ACCESS Operators, and Durham Public School Bus Drivers. Bus drivers serve as pillars to help keep our community moving safely and sustainably; for that, we say thank you.
GoDurham Bus and ACCESS Operators:
Thank you for your tireless efforts to keep the City of Durham afloat during the most uncertain times throughout the covid-pandemic and the staffing shortages our organizations are facing. Your role as a bus operator helps connect people of all backgrounds to their jobs and the resources in our community.
Durham Public School Bus Drivers:
Thank you for being the smiling face in the morning as children start their day to get to school and the warm embrace when they finish their day. As a driver, you play a crucial role in helping children access the education they need to help shape the future.
During this holiday season, take the time to tell your bus operator thank you. Encourage your students to greet their bus drivers with a spirit of gratefulness. Without the work of GoDurham, GoDurham ACCESS bus operators, and Durham Public School drivers, the City of Durham could not fulfill its promise to make Durham a great place to live, work and play. To all transit workers, especially those in Durham, we salute you for your dedication and continued service to keep your city moving.
