Annual NEPTA Awards
Each year, during the NEPTA Annual Meeting in December, NEPTA is proud to showcase the Hall of Fame Award and the Richard H. Doyle Award, which are presented to transit professionals who have made a significant contribution to the industry.
David Lee, General Manager for CT Transit and past NEPTA President, graciously inducted Louis Schulman, Administrator Norwalk Transit District, into the NEPTA Hall of Fame. Lou was presented with the NEPTA Hall of Fame Award in appreciation for his dedication, humility and outstanding service to the transit industry and to the people of the community to whom he served for over 38 years.
Another honorable mention award, the Richard H. Doyle Award, dedicated to Richard H. Doyle, former Administrator for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Region 1, was presented by Michael Whitten, Executive Director, Manchester Transit Authority, to Al Byam, General Manager of UMass Transit Services. Al was given this prestigious award for his excellent customer service, significant contributions to the transit community and commitment to being a student mentor. The members of the NorthEast Passenger Transportation Association wish Al and Lou the very best in their retirement.
