Metro and the Metro Board of Directors every month honor employees who are stellar at helping keep our bus and train system running.

Please meet this month’s three winners — all of whom accepted their award at their workplace from Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins.

In the top video, we honor very long-time Metro train operator David Sanderson, who works on the B (Red) Line subway.  In the middle video, the honor goes to another veteran employee, stock clerk Thomas Hockenbury, who works at our Division 8 bus facility in Chatsworth. And in the bottom video, the winner is Chris McGee, a rail maintenance equipment supervisor at our Division 16 rail yard that will service and house trains running on the future Crenshaw/LAX Line.

Thank you to all our Operations staff who work 24/7/365!
