🌟 Community Spotlight: Future Leaders in Transit 🌟

Fort Smith Transit was proud to welcome Stevie Blankinchip, a member of the Diamonds of Arkansas Girl Scout troop, for a special visit to learn more about how public transportation works in our community.

During her visit, Stevie asked thoughtful questions about transit operations, safety, and how public transportation supports independence, mobility, and access to opportunity across Fort Smith. Her curiosity and engagement reflect exactly what community learning is all about.

Stevie is an impressive young leader in the making, and we are excited to officially welcome her as a Junior AmBUSsador for Fort Smith Transit. This milestone supports her work toward earning her Independence Badge while also helping her better understand how transit empowers people to move through their community.

We appreciate her visit and look forward to seeing how she continues to grow, learn, and serve.

Thank you for visiting Fort Smith Transit!
