Operations update: Transdev reports staffing progress and no major incidents; mechanic vacancy to be posted

Scott, an operations representative for Transdev, briefed the board on staffing and operations. He said the operations team is recruiting drivers to replace two staff members who left for family reasons and that three driver candidates were in the interview pipeline. A technician funded by the authority has announced resignation; Transdev will post the mechanic position and has at least one prospective candidate. Scott said the operations and safety manager attended a Transdev safety summit and is applying new practices locally. "We haven't had any major incidents thus far," he told the board, and he said he had passed his 90‑day probationary period. Board members and staff discussed greater collaboration with the school district on student and program transportation and said they would continue outreach. The operations update was informational; no board action was requested.
