Experience TARTA: Drive a Bus and Learn About Careers In Transit May 17

TARTA continues to look for dedicated, career-minded individuals with a passion for connecting people to their communities. 

At Experience TARTA – scheduled for Saturday, May 17 from 9 a.m. to noon at 1127 W. Central Avenue in Toledo – job seekers can complete applications, speak with TARTA’s Human Resources team about open positions, and even drive a bus through a secured course. 

“We’re so excited with the progress we have made in our mission to put together a great team of people dedicated to raising the quality of life for families in our region,” said Ursula Barrera-Richards, TARTA’s Chief Human Resources Officer. “A career at TARTA means being a vital contributor to your community, enabling mobility for those who need it most and helping to provide access to work, medical appointments, and so many other essential destinations.”

TARTA is currently hiring fixed line operators, a Maintenance Supervisor and Utility Mechanics, but those interested in other jobs may still come to the event to speak with HR personnel about the benefits of working for TARTA.

“It isn’t just about being able to give driving a bus a try; we want anyone who is interested in helping our community by pursuing a career in transit to join us and get a sense of what it’s like to be on Team TARTA,” Barrera-Richards said. 

Applicants who want to drive the bus at this event:

• Be at least 21 years old
• Have a high school diploma or GED
• Have a valid operator’s license with no more than 2 points in the last 3 years.
