The Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) is celebrating the careers of distinguished drivers Charles Frasier, Roger Pinckney and lead supervisor Harry Burnell. With more than century of devotion to public transit combined, each employee has helped thousands of commuters get to work on time with award-winning records for customer service.
"Charles, Harry and Roger’s careers mirror many of our employees who love what they do," shares CARTA Chairman, Mike Seekings "With traffic as one of Charleston's hot-button issues, their jobs are more important than ever and we’re delighted to have them as role models for the public transit system."
