STAR Transit Celebrates Rider Appreciation Week July 27 – August 1

Terrell —  STAR Transit is kicking off its annual Rider Appreciation Week, running Monday, July 27 through Saturday, August 1.

In celebration throughout the week, STAR Transit’s Rider Appreciation Squad will board  vehicles across the service area, surprising unsuspecting riders with giveaways to show
appreciation for their continued support.

“Our riders are the reason we do this work,” says Tommy Henricks, STAR Transit’s executive director. “Rider Appreciation Week is a small way of saying thank you for the
trust they place in us.”

“I always enjoy watching our Rider Appreciation Squad surprise someone on their commute,” said Kim Britton, STAR Transit’s deputy executive director. “We want all our
riders to know how much they mean to us.”

Riders across Kaufman County, Rockwall County, Balch Springs, Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Duncanville, Hutchins, Lancaster, Mesquite, Seagoville, and Wilmer are eligible for the
Rider Appreciation Week promotion.

Get Social!

Riders are encouraged to join the fun by sharing selfies on social media throughout the week using the hashtag #STAppreciatesMe. STAR Transit will also feature photos on its
Facebook (facebook.com/startransit) and Instagram (instagram.com/startransit_official) pages.
