Enrollment is now open for the Top Transportation Teams awards program, an initiative by Transfinder Corp., a provider of school transportation logistics software.

This program aims to recognize outstanding school transportation providers across North America and facilitate knowledge-sharing to enhance industry practices.

Last year, the program saw winners from two categories: Districts or contractors with more than 100 employees, and those with 100 or fewer employees. The six winning teams hailed from Indiana, Michigan, New York, and Texas.

To participate, teams can visit TopTransportationTeams.com and register by submitting their team’s email addresses. Team members will then be invited to complete anonymous surveys covering various aspects of their department, including morale, leadership, safety, and benefits. Team members encompass transportation supervisors, directors, routers, dispatchers, drivers, and other essential personnel.

Winners will be selected based solely on the responses to these surveys.

“We speak with transportation leaders all the time and are constantly amazed at the work they do under extreme pressure,” said Antonio Civitella, president and CEO of Transfinder. “They often go unnoticed. We sought to change that with the Top Transportation Teams program and it worked. We saw last year teams bursting with pride for the work they do. It was honoring and humbling to be a part of this effort and we are looking to make this program even bigger this year.”

The deadline for enrollment is May 3.
