Trinity Transportation Enters Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Sector
The new service will provide access to transportation for individuals who need transference for medical needs
WYANDOTTE, Michigan, July 9th, 2019 — Trinity Transportation today announced the addition of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT), a new transportation service for the Southeast Michigan community. NEMT is a service provided to individuals who need transportation to and from medical appointments, the pharmacy, the hospital, or urgent care. The trips are non-emergency in nature and individuals may require NEMT for a variety of reasons, including lack of a vehicle; inability to take traditional transportation for mental, physical, or developmental reasons; or they do not possess a valid driver’s license. This service exists to ensure all individuals have access to proper medical care and is especially important for those with chronic conditions.
“The entry into the Non-Emergency Medical Transportation service sector is part of Trinity Transportation’s aggressive 5-year growth plan. This expanding market is an opportunity to provide reliable and cost effective service to another under served sector of our communities”, says Jeff Carnicom, Chief Operating Officer at Trinity Transportation. “We are excited to enter this business with a dedicated fleet of ADA sedans, vans, and SUVs ready for dispatch. We have prepared by investing in our fleet, training, and credentialing of our customer-centric teams.”
A variety of modes of transportation are covered by NEMT, including sedan and wheelchair accessible vans, in order to accommodate customers’ needs. By giving patients suitable access to transportation, NEMT contributes to an overall increase in improved health outcomes. Trinity Transportation is the provider with the cleanest, most reliable, amenity rich vehicles operated by the safest and most customer friendly drivers on the road.

To celebrate the holidays each year, Trinity Transportation gives each employee a turkey for their Thanksgiving table, and this year was no different. We ordered over 1,000 turkeys to give to employees, hoping to spread a little joy this holiday season. The marketing team and members of upper management, including Trinity President Jerry Sheppard, traveled to Trinity’s terminals to hand-deliver turkeys to employees; it was a perfect send-off before enjoying Thanksgiving weekend!
In the spirit of giving thanks, we asked employees what they were thankful for when visiting the terminals last week. The answers ranged from being thankful for family to retirement to good health – we received so many great answers!
The holidays are a special time at Trinity Transportation, and we love sharing the fun and joy and the holiday cheer with everyone! For more pictures of last week’s events, visit our Facebook page!

Trinity Transportation Hurricane Disaster Relief Drive
Wednesday, October 4th, 2017Several parts of the United States have been torn apart recently by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. Hurricane Harvey caused devastation to the residents of Texas and Louisiana, wrecking everything in its path. Rainfalls reached over 51”, a record for rain caused by a single storm in the lower 48. Hurricane Irma affected Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, causing immense flooding, countless trees to be uprooted, and millions of people to be without power. Hurricane Maria made direct landfall on Puerto Rico, completely dismantling the U.S. territory and drowning it with several feet of rain. Homes have been destroyed, people and animals have been injured or had their lives taken away, roads and vehicles have been damaged, and complete cities have been flooded, their residents having to evacuate and take shelter elsewhere. So many people have lost absolutely everything.

Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria have displaced millions of people and caused insurmountable damage to the areas in their destructive paths. It’s hard to imagine the utter heartbreak and anguish those affected by the hurricanes are feeling in the aftermath of the storms. Now is the time for those who are able to rise up and assist the residents of the affected areas. Trinity Transportation sent down five motor coach buses in the first few days of Hurricane Harvey to assist with transporting citizens, and decided to run a disaster relief drive for Harvey, Irma, and Maria victims from September 5th – 22nd. Trinity employees and the residents of Metro Detroit filled 9 large tubs with supplies for those affected by these hurricanes. We are proud of the turnout and blessed to be able to help with the relief efforts.

Trinity Transportation Prepares for 2017-2018 School Year
Thursday, August 17th, 2017It’s back-to-school season, which means it’s time for Trinity Transportation’s annual Back to School meeting! Every year, Trinity hosts a meeting before the school year starts to review safety, protocol, and procedures with our school bus drivers and aides.
“Each year, Trinity brings together all school bus division employees from our 10 locations to have a combined back-to-school meeting in preparation of the new school year,” stated Regional Operations Manager, Dave Holls. “This meeting allows all of our employees to receive combined training, learn about changes to employee benefits and company improvements, and allow us time to acknowledge and celebrate our accomplishments and success.
Regional Operations Manager, Dave Holls, speaking to Trinity employees
“This year we had over 500 employees in attendance for our meeting – the most ever! As Trinity continues to grow, and is now part of the National Express family of companies, we continue to be able to offer new and exciting benefits and tools for our employees. Our back to school meeting allows us to review all of these new improvements and prepare our staff for the goals and objectives of the new school year.”
Kicking off the meeting was Trinity Transportation President, Jerry Sheppard, who gave a welcoming speech to the crowd. He addressed how successful Trinity has been, how fast we are growing, and the resources we’ll acquire upon finishing the merge with National Express.
The day continued with two National Express executives and several Trinity Transportation executives and managers speaking on important policies, safety, branding, customer service, employee appreciation, and marketing.
From Chief Operating Officer, Austin Arksey: “Our Back to School meeting this year was a great success with our biggest turnout to date. There was a lot of excitement amongst our school bus drivers and aides for the new school year! Between the merge with National Express and the growing of Trinity Transportation, we’re ready to utilize every resource to make this year one of the best.”
At the end of the day, employees had the chance to play “Spin the Wheel”, where over $600 in Visa gift cards were given away! Three employees had golden tickets under their chairs, which won them each an Apple Watch!
The Back to School meeting was an ultimate success – a day filled with important information that also brought Trinity employees together. To see more pictures, check out our Facebook page!

The Iron Dragon is now virtual! From now until September 4th, guests ages 13+ can wear a virtual reality headset while riding the rollercoaster for an awesome new experience.
Cedar Point has a mobile app that is back for its second season. Park-goers can join a “coaster alliance” and enter a friendly competition in “The Battle for Cedar Point”.

Don’t worry about using up all of your data either – Cedar Point has free wi-fi!
In addition to the terrific new rides and app features, Cedar Point has added new dining options. If you’re hungry or thirsty, the park has you covered.

Make sure to check out their sandwich exclusive to Cedar Point and their full-service bar. Famous Dave’s BBQ Shack is on the Frontier Trail, ready to fill your barbeque cravings with pulled pork sandwiches, brisket, ribs, and more. If you’re in search for pizza, make your way to Wagon Wheel Pizza in Frontier Town. Be prepared for mouth-watering hand-made pizza with traditional toppings of cheese, sausage, or pepperoni. And don’t forget your side of flavorsome breadsticks! If you tend to drink a lot of liquids throughout your time at the park, Cedar Point has a season pass drink plan that gives you the option of selecting a disposable cup or refillable drink bottle at the beverage stations for unlimited fountain drinks all summer long.
The new shows at Cedar Point are definitely worth watching! “Peanuts Perfect Day” is a fun celebration from beginning to end with music, dance, and all of your favorite Peanuts characters. Find it in Celebration Plaza – and don’t forget to stick around after the show to meet the Peanuts! “Lights, Camera, Action” is a musical journey that takes you through the greatest numbers from your favorite movies, from “Singing in the Rain” to “Hairspray”.
