TARTA Invites Potential New Drivers To Step Behind The Wheel

The Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA) allowed guests to get behind the wheel of a bus Monday, in order to preview a hiring event slated for this Saturday, May 11.

Lucas County Commissioners Pete Gerken and Lisa Sobecki, Ronald Wells Jr. of the Commissioner’s Office, TARTA Board of Trustees Vice President Kendra Smith and TARTA CEO Laura Koprowski drove a bus through a course at TARTA’s Central Avenue headquarters, and those applying to drive for TARTA will be able to do the same Saturday.

Applicants can stop by a Drive The Bus Event at 1127 W. Central Avenue in Toledo any time between 9 a.m. and noon on Saturday, May 11, to discuss open operator posts with TARTA personnel, fill out an application and schedule an interview.

There’s no better way to know if this is the job for you than to try it out...In addition to scheduling interviews and getting to know people who are looking for a change in their career, we’re so happy to give applicants the experience of getting behind the wheel and seeing if this is for them. Our amazing team of operators puts people in touch with jobs, medical appointments, grocery shopping, educational opportunities and so much more every day. They’re the main point of contact for anyone using our service, which is why it’s so important that we find the right team. Events like these will help us build the roster of operators we need to continue to move the region forward.

Ursula Barrera-Richards, J.D. - TARTA’s Chief Human Resources Officer

Applicants who want to get behind the wheel at this event must:

  • 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.

TARTA fixed-line operators play a vital role in connecting thousands of northwest Ohioans to the people, places and events that matter most in their lives. Pay for a new operator starts at $21.05 per hour, with health, dental and vision benefits available for drivers and their families, as well as retirement benefits available through the Ohio
Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS).

If you can’t make the event but are interested in a career in public transportation, visit tarta.com/careers to apply online and find out more about any open post at TARTA.
