Revision of Job Description: TCAT - Bus Driver
The Commission reviewed and discussed at length a request to amend the requirements for
Bus Driver by deleting the requirement for prior bus driving experience and by amending the
special requirements to allow a three month period from the date of hire for an individual to
obtain a Class B Commercial Drivers License with Passenger Endorsement. TCAT Manager
Nancy Oltz outlined the training program that TCAT has instituted to train individuals to
become Bus Drivers. Due to recruitment difficulties, TCAT has created an on-the-job
training program to provide a larger pool of candidates. After much discussion,
Commissioner Thompson made a motion to:
1. Amend the minimum qualifications by deleting the requirement for prior bus
driving experience;
2. Amend the special requirements to read as follows:
"Special Requirements: Applicants must obtain a NYS Class B Commercial
Drivers License with Passenger Endorsement within three (3) months of the date
of appointment and must maintain said license for the duration of employment.
In addition, candidates must be able to meet the requirements contained in
Article 19-A of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law.
3. Place this item back on the agenda for the July 2004 meeting to review the
impact of these changes.
Seconded by Commissioner Richardson. Motion carried 3-0.

positions at TCAT. Commissioner Thompson made a motion to classify the positions as Bus
Drivers. Seconded by Commissioner Richardson. Motion carried 3-0.
