"This award is presented to all rural frontline transit heroes that unselfishly provided and continue to provide essential transportation services during the COVID-19 Pandemic. When everything else stopped, our rural transit frontline heroes showed up to work every day regardless of the risk to their well-being and safety to serve the public. This award recognizes them for the heroes that they are. Congratulations and thank you!"

Rural Mobility Champion Award Tribute to Frontline Heroes
As part of this year’s virtual Rural and Intercity Bus Transportation Conference, we featured a “Tribute to Our Frontline Heroes” to recognize the commitment of ALL transit workers who provided essential transportation during the pandemic.
For this tribute, we solicited photos, videos, and stories. It's not too late to submit a tribute and recognize your Frontline Heroes, even though the RIBTC conference has passed!
The Committee also invites you to celebrate your staff by requesting buttons and downloading a “Frontline Hero” Certificate to recognize individuals or your entire Agency.
