Kristi Urich -- New ideas and solutions for hiring and retaining bus operators

The public transit industry took it on the chin during the pandemic. Beyond restrictions, reduced service, and drops in ridership, the industry lost hundreds and hundreds of bus operators.

Two years on, the industry is trying to get back on its feet but is stymied by a lack of people to drive the buses and trains.


Kristi Urich, Product Director for Workforce Management at Trapeze (see the WM solutions for bus and rail) has some big ideas--and some pretty revolutionary ones at that--for how to attract and retain drivers.


All this on this week's Inside Trapeze.


Read Kristi's post going into more detail about the topic--3 New Ideas to Tackle the Critical Bus Operator Shortage.
