Today, we want to take a moment to thank and congratulate one of our drivers, Darryl, on his retirement. Since joining JAX in 2019, Darryl has been a joy to work with and a valued part of our team. His reliability, hard work, sense of humor, and positive attitude have left a lasting impact on everyone around him.

We will truly miss seeing Darryl around JAX each day.

Please join us in wishing him a happy, relaxing, and well-deserved retirement. Thank you for everything, Darryl. We hope this next chapter brings you plenty of joy and new adventures! 💙

🚌💡Transit Trivia Tuesday💡🚌

Did you know that the English word "bus" actually comes from the Latin word "Omnibus", which translates to "for all". Pretty ironic considering that public transit is for everyone! 👥

Yesterday, JAX was honored to support the Veterans Honor Flight of Southern Illinois by providing shuttle service for veterans’ families, special dinner guests, and overflow parking transportation throughout the event.

We’re especially proud that two of the drivers representing JAX during the event, Jherell and Steve, are veterans themselves. Their service to our community didn’t stop after their time in uniform, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to have them help support such a meaningful event.

Thank you to the Veterans Honor Flight organizers, the veterans being celebrated, and the families who continue to support them every day. It was a privilege for JAX to play a small part in such a special occasion.
