30 YEARS OF SAFE DRIVING:
TWO METRO DRIVERS INDUCTED INTO NATIONAL “TWO MILLION MILE CLUB ”

CINCINNATI -- They each have driven Metro buses enough miles to circumnavigate the globe 80 times or to travel to the moon and back eight times… without an accident.

On Wednesday, May 24 at Metro’s Annual Safety Awards Luncheon at Museum Center at Union Terminal, two of Greater Cincinnati’s finest bus drivers will be inducted into the National Safety Council’s prestigious “Two Million Mile Club” for driving 30+ years without a preventable accident:

• Don Lewis
• Ron Stacy (retired February 2006)

Including this year's winners, a total of 48 Metro bus drivers have received this national honor in Metro ’s history.

The awards luncheon will honor almost 100 Metro bus drivers and mechanics with outstanding safety records in 2005.

Metro is a non-profit public service of the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority, providing about 22 million rides per year in Greater Cincinnati. Metro bus drivers travel about 13 million miles each year.
