The National Association of College Auxiliary Services, at its Annual Conference in Orlando, Fla., recognized First Transit as their “Outstanding Business Partner of the Year” for its operations in the university transit market.

The award is presented to the company that has provided exceptional business services to its customers and assisted in exceptional customer service operations for students, faculty and staff on college and university campuses nationwide. First Transit President Brad Thomas, believes this recognition is a reflection of the hard work and dedication his university transit employees put into their campus transit systems regularly.
