Pembroke Central School District (New York)

The best part of my job is my team. I love coming to work every day. I love sitting at the table and talking to them. I’m so thankful for them. I just want to talk about my culture. The people are great. I think it’s really important that you form a relationship with your employees. They’re willing to help. It make them feel important if you go out and say, ‘Hey, what’s your opinion on it?’ It make them feel a part of the group.

Being named Top Transportation Team means a lot! It makes us super proud to show the country how amazing our team is. And when we learned that we had won, we were extremely happy! I mean, win it once okay. Cool when it twice awesome, but three times –  we must be fabulous.

What would you tell a team that hasn’t participated in the program?

Here is what the Pembroke CSD team had to say:

We are a very dedicated and fun-loving family.

I retired back in 2023 and here I am, back subbing for the past three years. And no joke, I regretted retiring! So happy to be here.

I enjoy working with all my teammates. We all pull together to make sure the days go smoothly.

My job and work environment are very rewarding and fulfilling.

Leadership quote:

We are led by a wonderful transportation director who works hard at keeping us a well-oiled bus company.
