The Road Less Traveled:
Jeremy DaCosta’s Transition to Tri-Board
Jeremy DaCosta’s decision to embrace the helm of Tri-Board Transportation is a testament to his unwavering commitment to the well-being of our students and the future of our community. With a career that began as a high school student donning the hat of a public skate patrol officer in Kingston, Jeremy’s path was anything but ordinary. “I worked at the City of Kingston for a long time: I was there for 28 years. I started there when I was a student in high school, in public skate patrol,” he recalls with a smile. It’s a humble beginning that demonstrates his deep-rooted connection to our local community and the values of service and safety that he brings to his new role.
After graduating from Queen’s University with a degree in business, Jeremy’s journey led him back to the City of Kingston, where he took on various roles, steadily climbing the municipal ladder.
