In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the hardworking, dedicated women who keep the Greater Grand Rapids community moving through a portrait series. These women are the friendly smile when boarding the bus, the voice on the radio helping to navigate an emergency detour, and the hands on the wheel. The Rapid’s Transportation team is made up of women serving as Bus Operators, Dispatchers, and Transportation Supervisors. But these women are more than just their job titles. They are assets to our community as mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, daughters, small business owners, volunteers, and so much more.
Women’s History Month is the annual declared month highlighting the contribution of women to events in history. In the United States, the history of this month can be traced back to the first International Women’s Day in 1911.
The Rapid has partnered with Women’s Lifestyle Magazine to share the portraits and words of the outstanding women that make up our team. Follow Women’s Lifestyle Magazine on Instagram to view all of the portraits: https://www.instagram.com/womenslifestylegr/
