Garland, TX (June 27, 2023) – On June 21, 2023, Transfinder, the leader in school transportation management software, announced the first-ever Top Transportation Teams award recipients. Six outstanding winners from Indiana, Michigan, New York, and Texas have been recognized for their exceptional contributions to the transportation industry.
Transfinder established two categories: departments with less than 100 employees and departments with more than 100 employees. In the category of departments with over 100 employees, Garland ISD, along with Franklin Township Community School Corporation in Indiana and Klein ISD in Texas, were the winners!
“We are beyond elated to receive this recognition,” said Annamarie Banner, GISD Director of Transportation. “This past year, we have worked in depth to change the culture and the meaning of family in our transportation department. We love what we do, and together we make a difference!”
Winners were selected solely on the anonymous survey responses of their teams, with those districts scoring the highest in employee satisfaction receiving the Top Transportation Teams designation. The teams were comprised of transportation supervisors, routers, dispatchers, drivers, and others considered core to the transportation department. Survey questions covered various areas, including morale within the department, leadership, safety, and benefits.
“Garland ISD’s Transportation Department deserves this award and then some,” said Dr. Shelley Garrett, GISD Assistant Superintendent of Safety & Operations. “I have never seen a team more focused on creating something great as I have in the leaders, drivers, mechanics, and monitors of this department. It has been inspirational.”
Garland ISD extends heartfelt appreciation to its diligent transportation department for its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of students throughout their journeys to and from school. The recognition received through the Top Transportation Teams award is a testament to their exceptional performance and dedication.
