Newark, NJ
see the full file on NJ Transit| No experience needed | Bus Operator: you qualify for the training programme at 21 or older, with fewer than five points on your driving record and either a non-provisional NJ driver's licence held for the last three years, an NJ CDL permit, or a full CDL from NJ, NY or PA. No high school diploma requirement is stated and no CDL is needed - NJ Transit will help you get the permit. RESIDENCY: NJ Transit adheres to the NJ First Act, New Jersey's residency requirement for public employees. |
|---|---|
| Paid training | NJ Transit fully trains and certifies every bus operator in-house, including helping candidates who have no CDL permit obtain one. Signing bonus scales inversely with what you bring: up to $6,000 with a full CDL, up to $3,000 with only a permit, and still up to $3,000 if NJ Transit has to get you the permit. No repayment or clawback clause is published. |
| Pension | Bus Operators get a pension plan plus a 457 tax-deferred savings plan, and continued medical benefits after meeting full retirement eligibility - retiree healthcare being the rarer half of that. NJ Transit does not publish the plan name or formula on the recruitment page; most NJ Transit staff are in New Jersey's Public Employees' Retirement System. |
