The NFTA has earned a first-place 2025 AdWheel Award in the Best Social Media category for our Workforce Development Campaign, Meet Metro. These annual awards, presented by the American Public Transportation Association, recognize marketing and communications efforts of members nationwide and demonstrate the commitment to excellence within the industry. 

We are excited to congratulate our Public Information Officer, Kelly Khatib, and Digital Content Specialist, Evan Anstey, for their outstanding creative content on this campaign. Their strategy and dedication to sharing the faces, backgrounds, and success stories of members of our diverse workforce has positively impacted our recruitment efforts and garnered national recognition. This campaign highlights why the NFTA isn't just a stop in our employees lives; it's an engaging ride from start to finish, with nothing but growth and reward for those who choose to take it.

Grand prize winners will be selected this summer from all first-place winning entrants and presented at the September 2025 APTA TRANSform conference. We are keeping our fingers crossed for the big win!
