“This is an incredible honor for our agency,” said Kim Turner, director of Torrance Transit. “We pride ourselves on being the little agency doing big things for our customers and the South Bay region. Everyone at Torrance Transit contributed to this award through their hard work and dedication to service. We also thank our customers and patrons who continue to support and choose to ride Torrance Transit.”
