National Express, LLC (NELLC) companies—a leading provider of transportation across North America–has met two milestones this year: celebrating its 100th anniversary and being selected by LATINO Magazine for the 2017 “Latino 100” listing.
This distinguished award is presented to companies that are dedicated to providing significant opportunities for Latinos in the areas of civic engagement and education. This is NELLC’s third consecutive year of being recognized for its commitment to the Latino community.
“As you mark your 100 years of operations, it is only fitting that you are a part of the elite group of companies which have made collaboration with the Latino community a central part of their business and civic strategy,” said Alfredo J. Estrada, publisher of LATINO Magazine. “The investment you have made in your people by creating a positive work culture as well as providing tools for your employees to continue on a path of success should be commended.”
The timing of the award makes it that much more special to the company, said David A. Duke, president and CEO of NELLC.
“Our journey started a century ago, and we’ve stayed true to who we are—a leader in the safest, highest-quality transportation,” Duke said. “But more than that, we are a people business. From the people we serve to those we hire. I’m so pleased that LATINO Magazine has recognized our efforts.”
National Express LLC can trace its roots back to 1917, a school bus company serving students with special needs in California’s San Gabriel Valley. Today, the company offers student, transit and charter services, transporting more than one million students daily and 15 million passengers annually.
