RTA Interactive Hiring Event

The Greater Dayton RTA will let you test drive a new career during an interactive hiring event September 27 at the University of Dayton Arena. Prospective bus drivers will be offered the chance to get behind the wheel of the agency’s big buses and/or small non-CDL buses and get a feel for what it means to be a bus driver.

The RTA will conduct interviews September 27 from 7 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at UD Arena. Candidates must bring and hold a valid Driver’s License, along with a copy of their resume. After successfully completing an interview, RTA trainers will be on hand to assist applicants with a vehicle test drive, and ensure the ride goes smoothly. 

The starting wage for CDL bus drivers is $18 per hour and after 7 years of employment make $30 per hour. Non-CDL drivers start at $15.75 per hour. In addition to starting pay, RTA offers outstanding benefits, including: a 14% contribution to your state pension account; up to $26,000 a year toward family medical insurance; dental insurance; paid time off; access to on-site fitness centers; and a great team atmosphere where you are respected and valued for your contributions. The agency is requiring a completed COVID vaccine for all new hires. For those not able to attend the career fair, you can apply for open positions on RTA’s career website, www.iriderta.org/careers.
