The maintenance team of Fairfax Connector, represented by Transdev, recently brought home first place at the 2023 Virginia State Bus Roadeo.
Oscar Matamoros, Martin Lopez and Mario Llamas, who have a combined 63 years of service, also won the same award last year.
“This powerhouse team of mechanics – from the Herndon, West Ox and Huntington divisions – completed a series of timed exercises and a written test that evaluated their ability to identify and fix various mechanical issues,” county officials said.
The 2023 Roadeo showcased more than 50 transit professionals throughout the commonwealth on May 20-21 in Petersburg.
Fairfax Connector’s maintenance team will now move on to represent Virginia at the next American Public Transit Association International Bus Roadeo.
