This past weekend, C-TRAN Demand Response Operators helped with an important holiday mission: spreading Christmas cheer.

Transit is Why recently featured longtime C-TRAN passenger Harry—alongside his trusty service dog Carter—to talk about the impact that transit has had on his life. Big thanks to Harry for sharing his story, and to Carter for the smiles he brings to those around him while dutifully performing his job. #ctran #VanWa #ClarkCountyWa #PublicTransit #TransitIsWhy

It’s the end of an era at C-TRAN: The last Gillig Phantom buses to be used in regular service have officially been retired from the fleet. We’re sad to see them go, but they have served us well since arriving in 2003. 21 years of service is well beyond the norm for a transit vehicle. C-TRAN’s Chief Maintenance Officer Tim Shellenberger and Manager of Fleet Maintenance John Orsetti recently chatted with us about how their outstanding team kept these buses on the road for over two decades.

Last week, C-TRAN Transit Planner Francisco Ibarra and Customer Service & Eligibility Supervisor Rosa Chavez graduated from the Hispanic Metropolitan Chamber's Latino Leadership Class XVIII.
