Life as a TARPS driver is anything but predictable. Destinations change, passengers change –
every day is different. Those traits are
what drew Jackie Rockward to TARTA. It
was a chance to do something a little different. Something that would keep her guessing in the
best way possible.
“I like a challenge,” she said. I love the fact that I’m out there and I love
the scenery. I like that I go different
places and meet a lot of different folks.”
Rockward has been a TARPS operator for 15 years and says she
truly enjoys her job. The best part: the
people who get on and off her bus every day.
“They’re a lot of fun. I’ve got good relationships with my passengers.”
Jackie Rockward – TARPS operator
Some of them have commended her for her hard work and
dedication. It’s part of the reason why
Jackie is February’s TARPS Operator of the Month – not to mention two months of
perfect attendance and recommendations from her supervisors.
“I’m not shocked, I’m good at what I do,” she jokes and adds that it’s nice to be recognized.
When Jackie isn’t exploring the region by way of TARPS, she
tries her best to stay busy.
“I dance. I’m in
two-step, ballroom – I do competitions so I’m very active.”
Thank you, Jackie for your work ethic and commitment to team
TARTA!
