Visit our website (https://tcatbus.com/ieta/) to learn more about the Ithaca Electric Transportation Accessibility (IETA) project, expected to launch in Spring 2026.

Supervise and support operators, ensuring safe, reliable service & great passenger experience

Represent TCAT and engage with the community at events and meetings

Why Join TCAT?

We offer a truly supportive work environment where your leadership makes meaningful impact on the community.

Opportunities to grow your career in public transportation.

Excellent benefits including generous contributions to medical insurance as well as fully employer-paid dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.

Be part of a mission-driven team serving passengers and expanding our transit services in Tompkins County!

Schedule: Service hours TBD, but will include night & weekend operations and on-call responsibilities

Work Environment:

This role blends office work with field supervision - you'll be out & about supporting operators, attending community events, and making sure everything runs smoothly. Be ready for all kinds of weather and occasional lifting (up to 50 lbs).

Collaborative spirit and a commitment to safety, service, and teamwork!
