THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
WATA’s updated staffing plan, approved in September 2025, added five full-time and two part-time operator positions plus one lead position, contingent on Transit Strategic Plan Phase One funding. Operator strength is reported at 87% as of July 2026, with ongoing hiring and training. Workforce solutions providers, training firms, and scheduling software vendors can tap into this sustained operator recruitment and training need.
Staffing levels are tied to Phase One TSP funding; one new hire is in training and another operator recently retired after 20 years.
