First Transit announced that Lynn Cohoe, regional safety manager, was selected to receive the 2015 Senior Safety Professional Award from the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering (CSSE) in the provinces of British Columbia and Yukon.

Cohoe joined the First Transit team in March 2014 as regional safety manager. She also serves on the board of CSSE as regional VP. Cohoe’s other achievements include the CSSE Senior Safety Professional of the Year Award, the British Columbia Transit Leadership Award and Team Achievement Award.
