Transit Operators & Workers Appreciation Day

In recognition of Transit Operator and Worker Appreciation Day on March 18, 2025, the Town of Hinton extends heartfelt gratitude to all transit professionals who ensure our community stays connected and mobile. This annual celebration, coordinated by the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA), acknowledges the vital role these individuals play in maintaining and operating public transit systems across Canada. 

CUTA's campaign runs from March 17 to March 21, 2025, with each day dedicated to different facets of transit operations: 

• Monday, March 17 – Maintenance & Sanitation: 
  • We honour those who keep our transit vehicles clean, safe, and operational.
• Tuesday, March 18 – Full Appreciation Day!
  • Celebrating all transit workers collectively.
• Wednesday, March 19 – Operators
  • Recognizing the drivers who navigate our streets daily.
• Thursday, March 20 – Administration / Support / Planning
  • Appreciating the teams behind the scenes who coordinate and plan our transit services.
• Friday, March 21 – Security
  • Thanking those who ensure the safety of both passengers and staff.

Hinton's public transit system, established as a permanent service in 2009, operates six days a week on a fixed route. Our 24-passenger buses are designed to be accessible to walkers and strollers and are equipped with bike racks to serve the diverse needs of our community. 

We invite all residents to join us in expressing appreciation for our transit workers by sharing messages and experiences on social media using the hashtag #ThanksTransit. Your stories and acknowledgments will highlight the dedication of those who keep Hinton moving.
