Why Work For RTA-written by RTA employees
We have a beautiful new facility! Drivers are appreciated and treated better at RTA than most other Transit Companies. RTA is a close knit “family” atmosphere. Pay and benefits are fair and opportunity for training and advancement are open to all. RTA is a comfortable place to work. Opinions of drivers, and all employees matter and are taken in consideration. Our maintenance crew are top notch and they care about the drivers and equipment safety, they are willing to talk with the drivers and address their concerns. That does not happen at many transit companies. The buses, vans and support vehicles are beautiful and well maintained. Supervisors and management care about our drivers and strive to keep them safe and reasonably comfortable at work. Management has an open door policy and they are always willing to consider all questions, concerns and suggestions. Safety awards are generous.
We have some of the best scenery anywhere on our routes. We have an amazing professional training team training is within and anyone can get a CDL and paid training here, and testing is within as well. (That’s Big!) Uniforms are paid for so we do not have to worry about what to wear each day.
Routes and shifts are flexible and we have a bid system. It pays to stay! We have full time, part time positions available. This is a great opportunity for young people looking to have a CDL and retired people looking for extra income.
