TARTA Rolls Out ATU-Endorsed Apprenticeship Program

TARTA took the next step in its investment in its team and training for its operators with the unveiling in late September of an operator apprenticeship program endorsed by the International Amalgamated Transit Union. 

Fixed route operators who graduated last month are the first to will be the first class in this new program - the 10th ATU-endorsed apprenticeship program in the U.S. and the first in Ohio. 

ATU apprenticeship programs are designed to go beyond standard onboarding programs, with curriculum that includes paid training for a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), peer mentorship, certifications and an enhanced curriculum covering safety and de-escalation tactics.

New TARTA operators undergo 300 hours of instruction time, split between classroom training and road training. The apprenticeship program with the ATU is in addition to TARTA’s M-PACT Program, which matches new operators at TARTA with experienced operators to help guide them through the first years of their career.

Congratulations to all of September's graduates:

  • Curtis Emerson, Fixed Route
  • Alina Ligon, Fixed Route
  • DeWanna Lindsey, Paratransit
  • Jacquelyn Patton, Fixed Route
  • Richard Perry, Fixed Route
  • Iesha Smith, Fixed Route
  • Shawn Walters, Paratransit

TARTA was proud to welcome a number of special guests to help celebrate the occasion, including:

  • International ATU Director of Apprenticeships and Workforce Development Jamaine Gibson 
  • International ATU Vice President Carly Allen, who served as a TARTA Operator for 20 years and President of ATU Local 697 for 12 years before being elected to that post
  • Ohio State Rep. Erika White
