For Myron Hubbard, work isn’t really work at all if you love what you do. And what Hubbard loves most is transporting people with special needs around the Chicago area as a driver for SCR Medical Transportation.
“It doesn’t matter how much we’ve amassed; it matters how much we’ve helped others,” said Hubbard, who spent 25 years working in child care, two years driving for the Southeast Michigan Authority for Regional Transportation, and 10 years as a Greyhound bus driver before joining SCR Medical Transportation eight years ago. “We’re people helping people, and I love the fact we are helping people with special needs.”
That dedication will be recognized on the national stage later this month when the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association recognizes Hubbard as its Paratransit & Contracting Driver of the Year, the top driver award in the industry. The TLPA is the oldest and largest trade organization of its kind in the world.
Hubbard’s attention to delivering the safest ride with the utmost care is now the standard for SCR, which entrusts him with training thousands of other drivers.
“If I had to describe somebody I want all of our drivers to emulate, Myron is that person,” said Michael Staley, director of operations at SCR. “To have the opportunity for somebody who exemplifies the characteristics that Mr. Hubbard does, to be honored in such a way by such an organization, is truly an honor for SCR and Mr. Hubbard.”
Hubbard will receive his award in front of hundreds of industry leaders at the TLPA’s 100th Annual Convention & Trade Show on Oct. 29 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
