METRO Awards 

METRO announced its top operator, top technician and top contract operator of the year awards at its Annual Awards Banquet on Saturday, February 15. 

Frederick Harrison, a 13-year METRO employee, was chosen as top operator; Arthur J. Henry, a 20-year METRO employee, was been named top technician; and Robin Wilson of First Transit was selected as top contract operator of the year.

Winners are selected based on interviews, which cover such topics as safety and technical knowledge, conducted by a panel of METRO staff members; and supervisor recommendations.

Safety awards also were given to more than 100 employees in maintenance and operations "for their efforts in making METRO one of the top transit agencies in the nation."
