July 2023 – For the 9th year in a row, Faster Horses has taken over the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, to put on their three-day country music festival. Camping, dancing, and singing are the three main staples of this music-filled weekend! This year, more than 40,000 people attended and enjoyed a star-studded lineup.
Shania Twain, Luke Bryant and Zac Brown headlined the festival filled with over 30 Country Performers during the 3 day event.
We are proud to have partnered with Faster Horses for our 5th year as the on-site shuttle provider for daily transportation to and from the campgrounds and the festival. Our Trinity On-Site Supervisor stated “The three-day Faster Horses event was another success this year! Transporting thousands of passengers between various on-site locations, our drivers did an excellent job. We were delighted to be a part of the festival again and look forward to continuing this partnership.” Each year, our drivers enjoy meeting new riders and ensuring everyone gets to their destination safely and on time!

The 2019 JCC Maccabi Games and ArtsFest took place in
Detroit from August 4th through 9th and Trinity
Transportation was the shuttle provider for athletes, their families, coaches, and
spectators. The Maccabi Games are an Olympic-style sporting competition for ages
12–16 and are held each summer in North America. The Games are the second
largest organized sports program for Jewish teenagers in the world. Over 1,600 teens
participated in the Detroit JCC Maccabi Games this year, competing in sports
such as baseball, ice hockey, volleyball, dance, and swimming. The athletes
compete in their specific sport throughout the week.
Trinity had a total of 70 drivers working the event from all
of our locations. Our drivers worked together to transport participants to and
from the airport, hotels, and temples, and from game to game. In addition to
these shuttles, 40 of our buses transported 1,300 kids from the JCC to the
Majestic Theatre in Detroit for a celebration at the beginning of the week where
the kids were able to mingle, dance, and eat.
Trinity Transportation Charter Manager Scott Wallace was one
of the supervisors for our shuttle services and said the event went smoothly.
He stated, “Our drivers did very well! Everything went smoothly the rest of the
week, and we were successful in transporting 40 buses from West Bloomfield to
Downtown Detroit for the event at the Majestic Theatre.”
Bob Canvassar, Maccabi Games transportation coordinator,
complimented one of our drivers for the great job she did. He said, “Your
driver, Jeri, ensured that no one was left behind by returning to the pick-up
location. Very nice of her to do that!”
Overall, the 2019 JCC Maccabi Games in Detroit were a
success and we are proud to have been their transportation partner for the
second time!

Throughout the course of 2018, we’ve held safety meetings every month to educate our employees and review important safety material. In November, we focused on driving conditions and how to be a proactive and defensive driver. The safety message for our meetings was “Look farther up the road. Stay focused on your driving. Think ahead and be ready.” To go along with the November safety message, we started off the meetings by reviewing LLLC Defensive Driving:
Look ahead
Look around
Leave room
Communicate
We advise our drivers to look 15 seconds ahead at all times (equals out to one city block), focus on what is happening up ahead, identify hazards early, slow down, and avoid panic stops. By practicing these habits, it gives drivers extra time to avoid accidents. Drivers should be changing their focus every two to three seconds, making them aware of their surroundings so they can anticipate problems, react timely, and remain alert. Leaving room and maintaining a cushion of space all around the vehicle gives drivers extra time to avoid collisions. The easiest place to leave room is in front of the vehicle. Drivers communicate by making sure other drivers and pedestrians know where they are, use signals and horn to communicate intentions, and make eye contact.
Changing seasons leads to changing driving conditions. It’s important to be aware of hazardous driving environments, watch for changing road conditions, and to drive to match the conditions of the road. Be aware of roadways with soft shoulders and stay in the lane at all times. With winter approaching, the precipitation and weather can cause adverse driving conditions. Slowing down is important when the roads could be slick and if visibility is low. Defensive driving comes into play when the weather changes the conditions of the road – look ahead, look around, leave room, and communicate.
The meetings ended with local CSC updates from general managers and maintenance, then company updates. November’s safety meetings provided vital information that will help our drivers keep our roads and communities safe this winter. At Trinity, we strive to practice safe and defensive driving every time we are out on the road!
