The Detroit Transportation Corporation proudly celebrates Troy Graham, our longest-serving employee, as he marks an incredible 40 years with the organization.
Troy began his DTC career as a Utility Technician on October 22, 1986-nine months before the Detroit People Mover began carrying passengers through downtown Detroit. Over the decades, he advanced to Electronic Technician and then System Control Operator, the role he has held for 35 years. In this vital position, Troy helps keep the system moving safely and reliably by monitoring train movements, responding to system issues and coordinating during emergencies.
His connection to the People Mover extends far beyond his career. As Troy shared, "Being here changed my life. I met my wife on the People Mover, and we have amazing children and grandchildren. I have coworkers that are more than friends."
Please join us in congratulating Troy and thanking him for four decades of dedication, knowledge and service to DTC, the Detroit People Mover and the city we are proud to serve.
His commitment is an enduring part of what keeps Detroit moving. ❤️
