Omnitrans Field Supervisorsshare their thoughts on the job

“I was one of the first drivers to arrive on scene at the Inland Regional Center on December 2, 2015 and assisted in transporting the evacuees to safe staging areas.

Seeing the appreciation we received from both the evacuees and local law enforcement and being able to show the public how much we care meant a great deal to me.”

Robert Negrete“Versatile”

Martha Reneger“Availability”

“When I respond to a call where a Coach Operator needs my assistance and I am able to get there fast and resolve the issue, the expression of gratitude from the driver fuels me to continue doing my job with a positive attitude.”

Roberto Morales“Honesty”

“I apply a positive attitude in all the things I do, not only at work, but in my daily life.

Whether I’m doing a favor for another Field Supervisor or helping a Coach Operator with concerns about a company policy, I strive to be professional and supportive.”

“As a field supervisor you occasionally have to act as referee, especially when there is a really disruptive passenger causing problems.

It feels good to be able to get the person safely off the coach and eliminate a threat to the Coach Operator.

Jay Yates“Referee”

Robert Walker“Counselor”

“One of the highlights for me each year is overseeing the Spark of Love Toy Drive event in Ontario.

I love the look of amazement on the faces of children who have never been on a bus--not to mention a 60 foot articulated bus stuffed with toys!

I really enjoy talking with them and answering their many questions.”

Keith Lembach“Problem-Solver”

“I believe a big part of being a field supervisor is leading by example.

Whether or not you are seen or not seen, the true test of character is always doing the right thing.”

Mario Jacquez“Conduit”

“One of my favorite moments as a Field Supervisor was the first day of our sbX service on April 28, 2014.

It was exciting to be part of Inland Empire history and play a role in the launch of the area’s first BRT."

Steve Durant“Adaptability”

“On December 2, 2015, I was training as a Field Supervisor and wound up at the command center at the site of the San Bernardino shooting.

I was honored and proud to represent Omnitrans and to work with law enforcement to coordinate and transport the victims to a safe location.”

Byron Brown“Multifunctional”

“Some of my favorite moments as a Field Supervisor are when I have the opportunity to write commendations and GEMs.

I enjoy being able to find Coach Operators working above and beyond the normal duties and acknowledging them for it.”

Lisa Chance“Dependable”

“I feel good when I’m able to do something that has a positive impact.

Back in 2007, I had the opportunity to assist in designing the Coach Operators’ casual camp shirt. The drivers were so happy to be get out of their uniforms, and wear something different.”

Ricky Williams“Dependable”

“My one word to describe myself as a Field Supervisor would be dependable.

To me that means being reliable, taking responsibility for your actions, being honest, having integrity, being consistent, displaying ethical behavior, treating others with dignity, and being worthy of everyone’s trust.”

Debra Lauricha“Mentor”

“I believe in leading by example and enjoy being a mentor.

My favorite Omni event is Transit Appreciation Day, when I get to holler “Happy Transit Day” every five minutes or less!”
