(KNSI) — The Chief Operating Officer for St. Cloud Metro Bus has been named Minnesota Transit Professional of the Year.
Dave Green was honored by the Minnesota Public Transit Association at its annual conference in October.
According to a press release from Metro Bus, “Green exemplifies the transit industry’s commitment to the safety and well-being of customers and employees.”
“Perhaps most important among his numerous accomplishments at Metro Bus is the significant reduction in accidents during Green’s tenure. Reducing accidents by over 50% from 2017 to 2020 demonstrates Green’s success in, and dedication to, pursuing the best safety performance possible.”
“The development and implementation of multiple initiatives including a Safety Incentive Program, a Safety Board showing the lapsed time since the last accident, and improved tracking of accidents were key management factors in this improvement.”
He started with Metro Bus in 2016 as a fixed route operations manager before being named Chief Operating Officer in 2019.
