Transit Driver Appreciation Day

March 18, 2026

Transit drivers work incredibly hard to keep the region moving. They safely maneuver extra-large vehicles through unpredictable traffic, adverse weather conditions and some really tight spaces, in addition to giving directions, announcing stops, remembering stop requests and more.

On March 18, Transit Driver Appreciation Day, we encourage you to say thank-you, wave or give your operator a smile. They’ll love it!

Thank you in a heart

Thank your driver or operator digitally by sharing a note or GIF! We know they’ll appreciate your kind words!
