Here's a chance to acknowledge just one of our amazing mechanics who help keep the RTA vehicles running over the thousands and thousands of miles that our routes cover. Here is Luis, who can fix a bus and drive a bus too. Our mechanics may not be who everyone sees out on routes but their hard work is what helps keep the buses moving. Thanks for all you to do our team of amazing mechanics.
