Dale Brady with Mayor Dirk Burton<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nDale Brady has worked for the Utah Transit Authority since April of 1976 when he was 22 years old. 47 years later, Dale has reached four-million miles, accident free. While the number itself is impressive, that number without any accidents, is extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis achievement isn\u2019t just unique to Utah, but also the U.S., and likely the galaxy,\u201d said UTA Executive Director Jay Fox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brady says his success lies in his fellow co-workers and wife, Cheryl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn the shift I\u2019m doing now, I get up at 3 AM to do that. Guess who else gets up? When I\u2019m talking about support in my life \u2013 Cheryl, for 46-plus years has gotten me up every morning,\u201d said Brady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brady says he also couldn\u2019t have done it without his team \u2013 specifically a fellow driver and friend, Art LeFevre. LeFevre passed away last year but was on track to receive the same award as Brady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen Art and I had achieved the three-million-mile mark, we started discussing the four-million-mile,\u201d said Brady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brady said he drove extra miles before LeFevre\u2019s passing so they could reach the milestone together. Though Art passed, he was still recognized along with Brady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn behalf of UTA and all of Utah \u2013 thank you Dale and thank you Art for safely moving citizens and visitors with care and with pride,\u201d said Fox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked if Brady was going to try for 5-million miles, he explained it takes a bit of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt takes 12 years to get a million miles, and I\u2019m thinking of retiring in June,\u201d Brady laughed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
