The California Transit Association (CTA) has announced the selection of Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty as the recipient of its 2020 Distinguished Service Award. This award recognizes an individual who has had a long and distinguished career and has made outstanding contributions to public transit. Haggerty was recognized for his relentless advocacy for transportation matters over the course of six four-year terms on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. The award was presented today at a virtual ceremony held in conjunction with the CTA Fall Conference. In accepting the award, Supervisor Haggerty remarked, “As elected officials, we don’t do this work for awards. But when you are acknowledged by such an esteemed body as the California Transit Association, it really solidifies that maybe the work you are doing does matter.” Among the career achievements which led to Haggerty receiving the award: • Currently serving as Chair of the Bay Area’s 9-County Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and being the only individual ever to have held this position twice; • Serving as one of the founding policymakers on the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, which oversees the operation of the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) commuter rail service connecting California’s Central Valley with Silicon Valley; • Initiating legislation that resulted in the formation of the Valley Link rail project – and serving as Chair of that agencys Board since its inception in 2018. Supervisor Haggerty is now in his 24th year of service as a member of the LAVTA Board of Directors and was instrumental in the implementation of LAVTAs high-frequency Rapid bus service and more recently, LAVTAs Shared Autonomous Vehicle project. Supervisor Haggerty is retiring when his current term ends at the end of this year. However, the transportation infrastructure and transit service that he helped put in place during his quarter-century of service will remain far into the future.

How far did you go? We take bus to safeway back n forth...

Follow Herb along on the ride! youtu.be/iklJJTpXOJ0

Let’s put more workers out of work

Laura Perez Reyes remember we wanted to take public transportation 🙂

That literally looks like the biggest waste of money

We're in lockdown again, is the bus free again?

What the Heck is this.

Doesn’t look possible to be 6’ apart in there...

Herb Hastings this is what you rode in ???

Wouldn't ride it

Este es el minibus q se maneja sólo no necesita chófer es d nuestra compañía d trabajo

Steve Chew lets try this

Quiero un raid 😃

Theresa Colberg Hmmmm

Wtf is dat

I would love to know what that bus system actually pays per ride. Budget divided by rides. I bet it would be cheaper to subsidize uber rides for everyone. I personally see very few people ride this bus system in Pleasanton. Bus shelters are only used by the occasional homeless person.

Is this how the robot uprise begins?
