Transit Driver Appreciation Day – March 18

We’re celebrating our frontline staff on Friday, March 18 in observance of Transit Driver Appreciation Day. Bus drivers are essential workers, and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been vital to the continuation of bus service. We are especially grateful for their commitment to our community and their willingness to serve on the front lines during such an unprecedented time.
 
On March 18, consider giving Greenlink drivers a smile and a wave if you pass them on the road, thanking them for their hard work as you board the bus, or dropping by the Greenlink Transit Center to let them know you appreciate their dedication.

Calling All Student Artists!

Greenlink is collaborating with the City of Greenville Youth Commission and the City of Greenville Arts in Public Places Commission on a contest to beautify bus stop shelters with inspiring artwork submitted by local high school students. The goals of this project are to help raise awareness about the Youth Commission, increase civic engagement and understanding of public transit, and provide access to public art throughout our community. Submissions are due on Friday, April 1 and up to six designs will be selected. The winning artwork will be installed in up to six Greenlink bus stop shelters (one design per shelter) by wrapping the outside of the rear glass panels of the shelters with vinyl decals.
