Apprentice Program To Help Fill Metro Transit Driver Shortage
Metro Transit operates 130 bus routes, providing 260,000 trips a day. Currently, the transit service is about 90 drivers short of its full complement of nearly 1,600. Bus drivers at Metro Transit start at $19.94 an hour and are eligible for a generous benefits package. It is one of the few jobs that offers a pension to part-time workers. In addition to the apprenticeship program, Metro Transit is continuing to actively recruit drivers and mechanics.
“Apprentices are paid while they have an opportunity to work closely with veteran drivers in one-on-one session, group classes and ride-along,” said Metro Transit General Manager Brian Lamb. “When they’re behind the wheel, they will have support and guidance from the best. It’s a great opportunity to get into a skilled trade, where there is an immediate demand for workers.”
