“A mentorship program for new Transit Operators will provide valuable support and knowledge based on the professional experience of our seasoned Operators,” said Local President/Business Agent Ken Price. “Nothing can compare to hands-on experience and guidance from our veteran Operators.” Our Union continues to set the standard for workforce development in the transit industry.
