LIMA, OH (WLIO)-
The Allen County RTA is reaching out to the community to fill several open positions.
Earlier Monday afternoon, the Allen County RTA held on-the-spot interviews and job applications as part of a hiring event for those interested in filling open job vacancies including a dispatcher, part-time and full-time bus operators and more. With some residents completely reliant on public transit for transportation, RTA officials strive to fill these openings.
"While we have the uplift and fixed route, we serve roughly four to five-hundred people in this community, and it's a great need in the community. We're always expanding services, and we're always looking to hire," says Lori McGuire, Transportation Manager, Allen County RTA.
If you would like to apply, you must be at least 18-years old, have a valid drivers license, and pass a DOT physical and screening for drugs and alcohol. If you do not have a CDL, the RTA will offer you on-the-job training. If you were unable to attend Monday's hiring event, a link to the job application can be found right here: https://www.acrta.com/acrta-employment/.
