What are the responsibilities and job description for the Seasonal Bus Driver - MUST RELOCATE TO MARTHA'S VINEYARD ISLAND, MA position at Transit Connection, Inc.?
SEASONAL BUS DRIVERS NEEDED URGENTLY!
Transit Connection Inc. (TCI) is the contracted operator of Martha’s Vineyard Transit Authority, a public transit system. We serve the residents and visitors to our island; accounting for over 891,000 trips annually! We operate 14 fixed routes to conveniently transport passengers to and from work, play, beaches, shopping, etc. Our bus operators serve as ambassadors to our beautiful community and are the heart and soul of the Vineyard! Summer Season starts mid-May and runs through to October.
CDL w/ Air Brake and Passenger Endorsements REQUIRED!
Previous city bus and motorcoach operators preferred!
Please read carefully:
We are hiring for the following:
A) First Half–Season Schedule
This option runs from mid‑May through the end of July. It’s ideal for qualified drivers who cannot commit to the full five‑month peak season, as well as student bus operators who need to return to school in August. Depending on staffing levels, overtime at time‑and‑a‑half may be available.
B) Second Half–Season Schedule
This schedule begins at the end of July and continues through the end of September or early October. It’s a great fit for individuals who are unavailable earlier in the season or simply prefer this timeframe. Overtime opportunities may be available.
C) Full Season Schedule
You may also choose to work the entire five‑month season, from mid‑May through the end of September or early October. As with the other schedules, overtime may be offered based on staffing needs.
If being away from home for five months doesn’t work for you, our split‑season options offer a great alternative. You can choose to work just half the season—or, if driving the full season is what you’re looking for, we’d love to have you onboard. It’s all up to you!
