Re: Bus Driver Instructor Training Opportunities

Under AB 1787 (Katz), the Association-sponsored bus driver traininglegislation, every public transit agency will be required to haveinstructors certified by the state or federal goverL’~lents.

We are aware that some agencies will have to certify their bus driverinstructors in time to c~i~ly with the new law which becomes effectiveJuly I, 1990. We are also aware that there are not sufficient instruc-tor training sessions now scheduled to meet the anticipated need. Infact, the two sessions of the Train-The-Trainer program for the WesternUnited States are full (February 5-9, 1990 in Santa Rosa and .’rune25-29, 1990 in Reno, Nevada). ’~

The California Transit Association has had preliminary disc~]ssions withthe Transportation Safety Institute (TSI) about the possibility scheduling additional Train-The-Trainer sessions in California in 1990.TSI indicated that they are aware of AB 1787, and the need for moresessions to meet the anticipated d~mnd for instructor certification byCalifornia public transit agencies. However, budgetaryconstraintslimit TSI’s ability to provide any additional instruction at thepresent time. Robert F. Lower, Manager of TSI’s Mass Transit Safety andSecurity Division, advised us that he intends to request additionalresources from UMIA in order to schedule additional sessions inCalifornia. ~

Mr. Lower has requested our assistance by recouuending that all inter-ested agencies C~91ete and m3bmit the attached application for the TSIMass Transit Instructor Orientation and Training Course (Train-The-Trainer), notwithstanding the fact that Western U.S. sessions are nowfull. Mr. Lower believes that a demonstration of need will be useful inhis discussions with I~A.

Therefore, if your agency intends to pursue TSI instructor certifica-tion, please c~plete and submit the attached application to TSI assoon as possible. Also, please send a copy to us so that we can use theinformation in our discussions with interested legislators relative toneeded clean-up legislation to AB 1787.

Page Two of Two

In addition, we have discussed with legislative staff the possibility ofdelaying the~effective date of AB 1787 so as to ensure tbmt all instructors inneed of training will have ~’,f, le opportunity to cu~lete the Train-The-Trainerprogram.

If there are any questions about this request, or if you need additiormlinformation about the certification req1~rements mandated by AB 1787, pleasecontact Michael Rattigan at (916)446-4656.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this ~ortant item.
