SCCTD’s Erwin Honored with Champion of Transit Award
Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT) – the region’s transit advocacy organization – recognized five “Champions of Transit” at its 41st Annual Meeting, held in downtown St. Louis on Sept. 19. During the event, CMT presented the 2025 Service Award to the Director of Facilities and Maintenance for St. Clair County Transit District Tony Erwin. CMT’s “Champions of Transit” awards are given on an annual basis and designed to celebrate the efforts of organizations, municipalities and individuals advocating for a safe and effective transit system in the St. Louis region.
“Tony Erwin of St. Clair County Transit District is an unsung hero when it comes to his partnership with CMT. He has been instrumental in ensuring the success of Transit Stop Transformation Projects in both Illinois and Missouri. He is also a “go-to guy” with an unmatched commitment to furthering the local transit system. He is consistently going above and beyond as it relates to capital projects, overseeing the MetroBikeLink System of trails. Tony also coordinates with Bi-State Development on their capital projects in St. Clair County.” said Kimberly Cella, executive director of Citizens for Modern Transit.
