At the University of Iowa, full-time automotive service technicians work alongside student staff to keep campus transportation running. Their combined efforts and service enable more than 5.3 million miles of travel and campus transportation per year. As part of Automotive Service Professionals Month, the Parking and Transportation department is highlighting the important work of the nine full-time and 11 part-time student staff that maintain and repair the university’s fleet of buses and vehicles. 

This team of 20 makes transportation services possible thanks to both their exceptional skillsets and their efforts to keep the workplace collaborative. With varying levels of experience between students and full-time staff, veteran technicians take their responsibility to educate very seriously.
