ATTAIN Bus Operator Mentorship and Apprenticeship Webinar

This webinar featured presenters from Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC)/ATU Local 1220 in Virginia and Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (MTD) in Illinois.

• GRTC and ATU Local 1220 partnered to implement a mentorship program for their bus operators that launched in 2024. Presenters will describe that process, how the program has grown, and the benefits that it has provided.
• MTD launched its bus operator mentorship program in 2023 and has tracked metrics showing the program’s impact. Responding to both quantitative measures and qualitative feedback and observations, MTD is working to restructure the program to better meet the needs of the transit agency and the bus operators participating in the program as mentees or mentors.
