March 18 is Transit Worker Appreciation Day, a day dedicated to acknowledge and express gratitude for the hard work and dedication of all transit workers who keep Canada's public transit systems operational. It is celebrated annually with a whole week of recognition.

Saskatoon Transit connects thousands of residents daily, in all weather conditions, thanks to the commitment of the entire team. From operators on the road to maintenance crews, planners, administration, and customer service staff, every member plays a vital role in keeping the city moving.

The Saskatoon Transit management team proudly celebrates Transit Worker Appreciation Day and invites everyone to thank all the transit workers who connect our community.

You can participate by expressing gratitude to transit workers through acts of kindness, such as saying thank you, writing kind messages, or sharing positive experiences on social media using the hashtag #ThanksTransit and tagging @stoontransit. If you stop by the Downtown Customer Service Centre, messages can be shared on the #ThanksTransit Poster.

While Transit Worker Appreciation Day is designated to highlight transit workers, expressing gratitude and appreciation for their hard work is encouraged year-round. Small gestures of kindness and recognition can make a big impact!
