It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to VVTA’s beloved Shelly Cable. Shelly has been one of this organization’s pillars since her first role as a coach operator. She loved this company deeply and held VVTA and each one of its employees in a special place in her heart. Even through the challenging medical conditions she faced over the past several months, she remained committed to VVTA’s best interests. Her determination to continue in her role, together with her courageous and fighting spirit, inspired so many of us, especially those who knew about the battle she was facing.
Many of us were fortunate to see and speak with her over the past few days. Even in her moments of pain, she continued to hold VVTA close, discussing work and what still needed to be done. Her dedication never wavered.
As we take a moment to reflect on the remarkable person she was, we recognize how deeply she touched the lives of so many, not only within VVTA’s extended family, but also among other business partners who had the privilege of working with her. Some saw Shelly as a dear colleague, loving and caring friend, sister or even a mother figure.
On behalf of VVTA, we extend our sincere condolences to her family, knowing that her spirit is now at peace and free from pain.
With deepest condolences to all who loved her,
Nancie Goff Chief Executive Officer Victor Valley Transit Authority
At its recent Board of Directors meeting, the Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA) proudly recognized Diane Euker for her extraordinary efforts in support of Transit Employee Appreciation Day and her ongoing encouragement of VVTA staff.
Diane, a regular rider, has become known throughout the agency as its “(un)Official Senior Transit Advocate.” Her connection to VVTA runs deep, as she often shares how access to transit has enriched her life, allowing her to stay active, engaged, and connected to the community.
In celebration of Transit Employee Appreciation Day, Diane went above and beyond by assembling more than 100 “T.E.A.” (Transit Employee Appreciation) packs for VVTA employees. Each bag, filled with tea and cookies, was personally prepared as a gesture of gratitude for the bus operators and support staff who keep the system running every day.
In addition to this effort, Diane is well known among staff for creating and distributing her handmade “Gold Stars,” recognizing operators for their service and care.
To honor her contributions, the VVTA Board presented Diane with a certificate of recognition and a custom t-shirt designating her as the agency’s “(un)Official Senior Transit Advocate.”
“Diane reminds us that public transportation is more than just a service, it’s a lifeline and a connection to community,” said VVTA leadership. “Her kindness and appreciation uplift our entire team.”
VVTA extends its sincere thanks to Diane for her continued support and for embodying the spirit of Transit Employee Appreciation Day.
Public transit is truly a team effort, and every role matters…
Every day across the High Desert, a dedicated team of professionals works behind the scenes and behind the wheel to keep our community moving.
On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, VVTA is joining transit agencies across the country in celebrating National Transit Employee Appreciation Day, a day set aside to recognize the people who make public transportation possible.
While bus operators are often the most visible members of the transit team, the reality is that it takes many different roles working together to keep buses rolling and riders connected to the places they need to go.
At VVTA, that team includes administrative and finance staff who secure grants and funding that keep transit affordable, planners who design routes and services, and customer service representatives who help riders navigate the system. Behind the scenes, maintenance technicians, parts specialists, and facility staff work tirelessly to keep the fleet running safely and reliably.
Then there are the dispatchers, reservationists, and operations staff who coordinate service throughout the region each day, making sure buses and paratransit vehicles are where they need to be.
And of course, there are the bus operators, those friendly faces riders see every day, safely navigating busy streets, assisting passengers, and helping people reach work, school, medical appointments, shopping, and countless other destinations across the High Desert and Barstow. Their commitment ensures that residents have reliable transportation options that connect them to opportunity and independence.
National Transit Employee Appreciation Day is a chance for riders and community members to pause for a moment and recognize the people who make that service possible.
So, if you ride the bus this month, consider offering a simple “thank you” to the people who dedicate their careers to public transportation. One small gesture can mean a lot.
At VVTA, the entire team is proud to serve the High Desert and grateful for the community they help move every day.

VVTA’s annual Fare Media Program for the 2026 season is accepting applications from Non-Profit Agencies through February 13th, 2026.
This Scholarship Program is designed for nonprofit agencies to assist low-income individuals, those with disabilities, or seniors who currently lack transportation options or are unfamiliar with the VVTA system and therefore are unable to utilize it.
The Fare Media Program helps individuals utilize the local transit system, as well as to help subsidize the cost of their travel. It is VVTA’s goal to utilize these funds to the maximum extent possible and serve as many individuals as possible. Non-profit organizations that serve these communities and these individuals may apply on behalf of their clients for these funds.
Let VVTA help get your clients get to where they need to go!
