AC Transit’s Post

Congratulations to our Christy McCree, MBA on being one of Mass Transit magazine 40 Under 40. Our bus operator recruitment continues to grow! We truly appreciate her ability to acquire top talent through recruitment, onboarding, and training as our HR Manager.

The Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) hosted the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Under Secretary for Infrastructure David Crane, Senator Alex Padilla, and California Governor Gavin Newsom in Oakland to celebrate a $12.6 billion investment to create a clean hydrogen hub in California. AC Transit is programmed for a $144 million investment for a zero emission fleet, infrastructure, and workforce initiatives. Thanks to our elected officials for supporting clean energy in California.

Our teams are at the American Public Transportation Association Workforce Summit, presenting our Six Strategies for Recruiting Future Transit Workforce. Thanks to these strategies, we've boosted hiring and increased our number of operators every quarter this year. We're also excited to highlight our advanced training for zero emission buses, where our mechanics learn through augmented reality (AR) at our Training Education Center. It was a pleasure demonstrating this innovative technology to Federal Transit Administration Deputy Associate Administrator, Molly King. #APTAworkforce24

We are excited to be at the 2024 APTAtech Conference, the premier public transit technology event in Philadelphia. Our team showcased innovations in zero-emission solutions, safe access to bus stops with Hayden AI, advanced fare collection and payment systems, and cloud-based hybrid solutions.
