The Mountain Area Transit Authority recently won a 2024 Risk Management Award from the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (California JPIA) for best overall performance in the liability program for non-municipal agencies. More than 80 public agency peers recognized the city.
The Risk Management Awards highlight dedicated efforts and achievements in risk management by recognizing California JPIA members that have demonstrated excellence and effective leadership in the liability and workers’ compensation programs. To select the winners, California JPIA staff evaluated various factors that reflect an organization’s risk management efforts, including overall claims performance, improvement in claims performance over time, responsiveness to Loss Control Action Plan recommendations, members’ engagement with risk management, participation in risk management programs, and attendance at training and academy opportunities.
Mountain Transit provides fixed route, off-the-mountain and Dial-a-Ride service throughout the rural San Bernardino Mountain communities including Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City, Crestline, Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs.
“It’s an honor to receive the 2024 Risk Management Award as it reflects the dedication and hard work of all Mountain Transit employees,” said Mountain Transit General Manager Sandy Benson.
“I am proud of all this year’s Risk Management Award winners. It’s a noteworthy achievement,” said California JPIA Chief Executive Officer Alexander Smith. “Not only does it recognize the winner’s risk management efforts, but the award also highlights how good governance and effective management benefit all California JPIA members.”
The award winners were honored at the California JPIA’s annual meeting of the board of directors on Wednesday, July 24 at the California JPIA campus in La Palma.
