Transdev announced its new Diamante level partnership with Latinos In Transit (LIT).

“We are excited to launch this incredible partnership with LIT,” said Laura Hendricks, CEO, Transdev U.S. “Transdev has been supportive of LIT and its mission since its inception in 2016, so formalizing our partnership, at its highest level, was the next logical step for us.”

LIT focuses on promoting the advancement and development of Latinos and other minorities in transportation. Its vision is to drive the future of sustainable and equitable mobility organizations by leveraging its global network to create opportunities for education, mentoring, and professional development.

“LIT’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion align well with our priorities,” added Hendricks. “We are encouraging our employees to get involved and give back to the communities we serve. This partnership allows us, as a company, to lead by example, while offering our diverse, employee population a chance to get involved and support this emerging, transit association.”

“Having an organization like Transdev supporting us at such a prominent level speaks volumes to their commitment to diversity and inclusion and to the industry’s evolution as a whole,” said Alva Carrasco, president of the Latinos In Transit board of directors. “We are appreciative of their sponsorship and look forward to the incredible progress and impact LIT will have on the transit industry with Transdev as a partner.”
