<p>OK... Last obnoxious post about this. Some pics from the Tuesday Awards Ceremony honoring Monterey-Salinas Transit.</p><p>I’ve always known this is a great Public Agency.

The Drivers, Mechanics, Facilities & Operations folks, Customer Service, and Office Staff. It just would not be MST without you.</p><p><a href="/tags/publictransportation/" rel="tag">#PublicTransportation</a> <a href="/tags/publicservice/" rel="tag">#PublicService</a> <a href="/tags/thankyou/" rel="tag">#ThankYou</a></p>
