What Is National Transit Employee Appreciation Day?
Celebrated on March 18, this day recognizes the dedicated professionals who keep public transportation running every day. Here at RFTA, our team works around the clock to provide safe, reliable transit service throughout our region, connecting communities from Rifle to Aspen.
Why It Matters
Transit is more than buses and routes. It is the people who make the system work. RFTA bus operators safely transport thousands of riders each day, while maintenance teams keep vehicles in top condition, Rio Grande Trail team maintains and cares for the corridor, and facilities staff keep stations clean and welcoming. Dispatchers, planners, and administrative staff also play an important role behind the scenes to ensure service runs smoothly.
Share Your Story
This National Transit Employee Appreciation Day, we invite you to help us recognize the people who keep the Roaring Fork Valley moving. Share a compliment, a thank you message, or a story about a positive experience with a member of the RFTA team. Your message can celebrate anyone across the organization, from bus operators and mechanics to facilities and administrative staff. We will share selected messages of gratitude on March 18 to highlight the incredible work our transit employees do every day.
