Today we join the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and public transit agencies nationwide in celebrating National Transit Career Day.

Did you know? The public transportation industry employs more than 383,000 people nationwide, with career opportunities spanning various skill levels and professional backgrounds, including engineers, planners, marketing professionals, social media experts, operators, managers, executives, and beyond.
 
But wait! There’s more. APTA data show that more than 77 percent of federal transit funding flows to the private sector, creating employment opportunities beyond direct transit agency positions.
 
Scroll down to meet some of our employees and learn what they love about their job.
