Transdev North America

It's that time of year again when we enjoy falling leaves, cool breezes and an extra hour of sleep this weekend. Daylight Savings ends on Sunday which means it will be dark earlier. Be sure to adjust your travel routine accordingly, stay aware of your surroundings and keep an eye out for pedestrians. #SafetyFirstSafetyAlways #DaylightSavings #SafetyIsNoAccident

Our #TransdevPurpose is to provide #safe, reliable and #innovative transportation every day, and this is especially true when our #communities are challenged with unpredictable situations. We're very proud of our Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) team for their incredible efforts to assist almost 600,000 riders affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. In their dedication to our community, our drivers provided over 1,200 rides, volunteering extra hours to ensure transportation for persons with disabilities and those hardest hit by devastating damage to their homes. We extend a very heartfelt #ThankYou to all our PSTA family for going above and beyond to serve our neighbors. #PeopleServingPeople #BehindTheWheelHeroes #ItsWhatWeDo Listen as a few drivers share their experience: https://ow.ly/JMTS50TXc8a

#Halloween festivites can mean an increase in both vehicle and pedestrian traffic. As it gets dark ealier, remember to be aware of your surroundings, watch your speed, and keep an eye out for for little ghouls and goblins. #SafetyFirstSafetyAlways #ItsWhatWeDo #SafetyIsNoAccident #PedestrianSafety

Every day, across our locations, our teams are dedicated to being #MobilityChangeMakers and caring for our #communities. We're excited to celebrate driver Sarah Horton and road supervisor Antrese McCormick, both from our Bayway Transit location in Panama City, FL., for their incredible commitment to #safety. On her regular early morning route Sarah called dispatch to alert them to a small child wandering in the street with no adult in sight. She quickly and safely secured her vehicle and brought the child on board, keeping them calm and safe until Antrese arrived. Antrese took the child to the closest police department and left them in the officers' care. As Antrese left the department, she heard radio chatter advising of another unacompanied child in the same area. Antrese pulled over and kept the second child safe, then alerted the police department of the situation. Officers were dispatched to the location where they subsequently found a third child without supervision. The Panama City Police Department shared that without Sarah's and Antrese's awareness of their surroundings and quick action, the situation could have had a tragic outcome. For their efforts, Sarah and Antrese were honored with awards at the recent Florida Public Transportation Association Annual Conference. ##Congratulations on your well deserved awards and for being #Transdev Mobility Change Makers.
