Riding Along in Cincinnati
Cincinnati Metro invited prospective bus operators to “shadow” driver Orlando King—a 23-year veteran and this year’s Operator of the Year—on Bus Operator Career Day at the Queensgate garage. The event also included information about the benefits and career advancement prospects within Metro and opportunities for participants to take the operator exam and conduct an onsite interview. This is the first time the agency has held this all-day event, designed to help people better understand its hiring process and learn more about the operator position. Metro Chief Executive Officer and General Manager Dwight Ferrell, at right, said, “Having an effective workforce development and recruitment program is key to finding operators who share that commitment, which is ultimately what keeps riders satisfied and coming back. The career day is a great opportunity for applicants to see what it really takes to become an operator and for us to make sure they have the necessary skills to provide great service to the community.”
