A fixed route passenger sent an e-mail about drivers Steve Rakowicz, Francis Flaherty, Mike Loeffler, Jerry Loeffler, Mark Gifford, Randy Wolk, Joey Matassa, and Steve Matassa.

I have been riding the COLTS bus for a couple of years now and if I'm being honest, I can't just pick one driver as my favorite, but if I had to narrow it down it would be:

1. Steve Rack - Because he is someone who is just an all-around kind-hearted person who isn't afraid to speak his mind either.

2. Francis Flaherty - He is someone who always has a smile on his face and every time he has come to pick me up he would say "Hey, how are you? It's nice to see you again!

3. Big Mike and his brother, Mark, Randy, Joey and Steve - I’m so grateful for all of your hard work and it definitely hasn’t gone unnoticed!”

Shared Ride client Arlene Lenc called to praise her favorite van driver, Joe Kirby.

I just wanted to say how wonderful our driver is and how he makes every trip so enjoyable!”

Shared Ride client Keith Williams sent an e-mail telling us why he appreciates COLTS.

One reason I look forward to resuming work in the office is my contact with COLTS. The van drivers, office staff, and administrators are helpful, professional, and empathetic. It’s a great service which enables me to maintain full time employment.”

A fixed route passenger e-mailed COLTS about her favorite driver.

Steven Matassa is an excellent bus driver.  Besides being very responsible, he is also super polite and always in a good mood, smiling and talking to EVERYONE! He’s the best on the road!”
