Congratulating Allan Pollock

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. SALINAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Allan Pollock for 19 years of dedicated public service in my district.

This summer, Allan is retiring from his role as general manager of the Salem Area Mass Transit District known as Cherriots.

Under Allan's leadership, Cherriots has grown steadily. They restored weekend and late-night service, underwent a comprehensive rebranding, and have put sustainable, climate-friendly electric buses into circulation.

Cherriots now provides over 3 million rides yearly.

But beyond numbers, Allan quite literally brought our community together--bringing workers to their jobs, shoppers to stores, and parents home to their children.

Oregon's Sixth District wishes Allan the best in his next chapter. We thank him for his years of dedicated service and for leaving the Salem area stronger and more connected.
