Her pioneering role as the first female Transit Operator, Dispatcher and Manager in Edmonton, Alberta was later commemorated by the city.[1] Kathleen Smith grew up in Rochdale, Lancashire and migrated to Edmonton aged 14. She graduated from Ross Sheppard Composite High School in 1959.[1] Following a marriage and subsequent divorce, she sought full-time employment to support her family, which led to joining the Edmonton Transit System (ETS) in 1975.[2] She initially fulfilled the role of Bus Information Clerk, before becoming the first female bus driver that May. After three years, she became the first female Bus Dispatcher,[1] and was eventually promoted to manager of Special Service charter buses. She was commended by the council as being the first female in any significant management capacity in the city. She continued to drive school buses after her retirement from ETS in 1998,[1] and died of cancer in November 2013.[3] In 2014, the city council created the Kathleen Andrews Transit Garage at a cost of $196 million, covering 500,000 square feet of space and accommodating 300 buses and 700 drivers.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/documents/AndrewsGarage-Pkg.pdf|title=Kathleen Andrews|publisher=City of Edmonton|accessdate=8 January 2015}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Andrews, Kathleen}}2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.630ched.com/2014/05/18/daughter-looking-to-honour-first-female-ets-driver/|title=Daughter looking to honour first female ETS driver|newspaper=630 Ched|date=May 18, 2014|accessdate=January 8, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/player/Radio/Local+Shows/Alberta/Edmonton+AM/ID/2419985206/|title=First female transit driver remembered|publisher=CBC Radio|date=November 22, 2013|accessdate=January 8, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://edmontonjournal.com/Northeast+garage+could+spur+Fort+Road+redevelopment/10448416/story.html|title=Northeast bus garage could spur Fort Road redevelopment|newspaper=Edmonton Journal|date=December 7, 2014|accessdate=8 January 2015}} 7 : 1940 births|2013 deaths|Bus drivers|Businesspeople from Edmonton|Canadian transportation businesspeople|English emigrants to Canada|People from Rochdale |
