As we gear up to celebrate National Transit Appreciation Day on March 18th, we wanted to take a moment to shine a spotlight on the real superheroes behind Arrowhead Transit: our amazing drivers!
You might not know this, but Arrowhead Transit has been the go-to public transportation provider in the Arrowhead Region of Minnesota since way back in 1974. For nearly 50 years, we’ve been serving up reliable rides to folks in 10 counties across Northeastern Minnesota: Aitkin, Itasca, Koochiching, St. Louis, Lake, Cook, Carlton, Pine, Chisago, and Isanti. That’s a whopping 20,525.74 square miles of coverage – about seven times the size of the Twin Cities metro area!
Now, let’s talk about our drivers – all 200 of them! These folks are the real MVPs of Arrowhead Transit. They’re the ones who get you where you need to go safely and with a smile on their faces. And let’s not forget, they go through some serious training, including learning all about defensive driving techniques, to make sure you have the smoothest ride possible.
One of the coolest things about Arrowhead Transit is our Dial-A-Ride program. It’s like having your own personal chauffeur, but way more affordable! Just give us a ring at 1-800-862-0175, and our awesome dispatchers will hook you up with a ride that fits your schedule and needs perfectly. Whether you’re headed to work, a doctor’s appointment, or just out and about, our drivers are ready to get you there in style.
So, as we celebrate National Transit Appreciation Day, let’s give a huge round of applause to our Arrowhead Transit drivers. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and for keeping our communities connected. You truly are our heroes on the road! 🚌🎉
