On Saturday, January 7, JCMHC’s Corey M. Stoltz Transportation Program held its first-ever year in review and awards ceremony. Throughout 2022, the transportation team experienced many changes including staff turnover, new software implementation, the addition of a Transportation Case Manager, and the hiring of six full-time drivers through a partnership with UnitedHealthcare. Through all of this, the drivers and dispatchers have maintained positive attitudes and a great work ethic.
The team received 19,622 ride requests while driving over 300,000 miles in 2022. The team was able to finish the year with six straight months of growth, which is anticipated to continue through 2023 and beyond.
The award ceremony honored four drivers who had exceptional achievements including: Rookie of the Year, Most Improved, Above and Beyond and M.V.P. Additionally, 13 drivers were recognized for completing over 500 rides during the year, and 12 others were recognized for a 90% or better on-time pick-up rate for the entire year.
Congratulations – and thank you – to the drivers recognized at the awards ceremony and our entire transportation team. The team is looking forward to 2023 and continuing to make a difference in our clients’ lives by providing “More Than Just a Ride.”
