Monterey-Salinas Transit recognizes that too. For examples, check out the following information in the draft 2017-2020 Plan. NOTE: The bulleted points below are random excerpts; refer to the Plan for context.
- Bilingual (English/Spanish) Customer Service Representatives are present at every board and committee meeting.
