METRO Magazine, in conjunction with BusCon and the Transit Maintenance Forum, is now accepting applications for its TMDOTY — Transit Maintenance Director of the Year Award — which will be presented at BusCon 2019. The event takes place September 23 to 25 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
We are looking to honor two Maintenance Directors — one with a fleet of over 501 vehicles, and one with a fleet under 500 vehicles (includes paratransit operators) — who have gone above and beyond to create a well-run maintenance shop.
The winners will be selected by an elite group of former and current maintenance professionals as well as the METRO staff.
The call for nomination deadline is May 31, with winners set to be notified in June.
For more info, contact Alex Roman at alex.roman@bobit.com or call (310) 533-2589.
