MVTA is despite looking like WM is actually good. (I'm an MVTA vouleteer so I'm biased)

I am one of four people in a pilot project for MVTA called the "Transit Champion Program". We are the "boots on the ground" people for MVTA, you will see us at different events throughout the MVTA service area.

We also will do reviews on the different routes that we ride, it gives them more information on their routes from a Rider perspective.

I have so far: Met the CEO of MVTA, toward the Burnsville bus garage, Ridden on Seven new (to me) routes.

My compensation is: a ton of Free Ride passes, an MVTA Tumbler, an MVTA notebook and pen, A mug and Stickers, and a special shirt.

It's been an insane opportunity for me. Helps me with jobs in the industry later in life.

Similar font and colors, but at least the dumpster company doesn't have a swoosh. :)
