We're proud to honor Tony Whitley, Instructor in Operations Training, and the Low-Income Transit Fare Reduction Program team at the Commonwealth's 40th annual Performance Recognition Program. Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, MassDOT Secretary Tibbits-Nutt, and General Manager Eng awarded them for their exemplary work in public service. Tony Whitley received the Eugene H. Rooney, Jr., Public Service Award, which "highlights human resources development as a planned, continuous effort to provide personal and professional growth opportunities that will enhance employee competency levels. Such activities serve to improve an individual's performance on a currently held job, and/or provide new skills, knowledge and capabilities that will allow an individual to assume a new role in the organization." The Low-Income Transit Fare Reduction Program team received the Commonwealth Equity in Governance Award for demonstrating "commitment to and attainment of the principles of equity in one or more areas of government operations..." 📸Photos courtesy of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. #MBTA #PublicTransportation #Massachusetts #PublicService #Award

“Stations are the gateway to our system and they are integral to the communities that we serve. With the hiring of these new Subway Line Managers, we’re taking significant steps in demonstrating our commitment toward transforming the rider experience,” said General Manager and CEO Eng. “In just over a year, we’ve maximized our efforts while performing track work, making our stations cleaner, safer, and more welcoming. I hope riders see and feel that improvements are happening, and our team members, under Dennis Varley’s leadership, want every rider to take pride in their public transit system right here in Massachusetts. So, I welcome Amanda Bright, Mike Brunache, Alexander Soto, and Jaleesa Turner for being on the team and taking on this challenge.” Learn more about our new Subway Line Managers: https://ow.ly/gMON50U6rW6 #MBTA #PublicTransportation #Career #Boston #Massachusetts
