This award reflects their remarkable collaboration on the frontlines, emphasizing the pivotal role of strong partnerships in advancing the quality and accessibility of public transportation. AC Transit also received APTA’s AdWheel Grand Award for marketing and communication efforts with their workforce development video, ”Recruitment: Live Your Best Life”, highlighting the impact of AC Transit’s good union jobs and career opportunities on entry level frontline workers. SunLine Transit Agency, in partnership with ATU Local 1277, has been recognized for their dedication to excellence in transit, with a particular focus on communities with 3 million or fewer annual passenger trips.
