Resources for Workforce Operator Management

As of 2020, nearly 50 percent of the bus-operator workforce was over 55. Evidence indicates that many younger job seekers are often not aware of the potential career opportunities and employee benefits that are available at transit agencies.

Bus Operator Workforce Management: Practitioner’s Guide (TCRP Research Report 240), released this week by TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program, provides recommendations and resources enabling transit agencies to better assess, plan, and implement their operator workforce management programs.

For more on the topic, see our blog, A Safe, Healthy Workforce Keeps Our Transportation Moving, and our Snap Search on Workforce Issues.
