In honor of Transit Driver Appreciation Day (Sunday, March 18), the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada encouraged riders to thank their drivers all week long (March 18 – 25) for a chance to win one of 50 24-hour rideRTC bus passes.
Riders can show their appreciation by quickly thanking their drivers upon boarding the bus. In addition, customers that give their driver a “shout-out” on social media and tag #DriversRock and @RTCSNV will be entered to win one of 50 24-hour rideRTC bus passes available only on the app. As part of the celebration, the RTC will highlight several drivers on its social media channels throughout the week.
Combined Fixed Route and Paratransit Driver Fast Facts:
- 1,500 drivers
- 65.1 million passenger trips (fiscal year 2017)
- 31.6 million miles traveled (fiscal year 2017)
- 2.3 million hours on the road (fiscal year 2017)
The RTC encourages customers to plan their trip, purchase their pass, and track their bus via the rideRTC transit app. Available for iPhone and Android devices, the app also details daily bus schedules and detours so riders can quickly access information while on the go.
