Abstract:

A typical transit agency will have about twice as many vehicles in operation during the peak hours as at midday. The increased difficulty of obtaining transit subsidies in recent years has produced a corresponding increase in concern over operating efficiency and labor productivity. The use of part-time operators (PTOS) has emerged as one of the most widely adopted, yet controversial, methods for productivity improvement. Transit unions have opposed the use of PTOS. They see part-time labor as a threat to their job security, their hard-won improvement in working conditions, and their premium pay. Such opposition has resulted in difficult contract negotiations and lengthy strikes. This study looks at the direct and indirect impacts of part-time labor implementation (PTLI) at five transit agencies: Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (Seattle METRO), Orange County Transit District (OCTD), Southeastern Michigan Transportation Authority (SEMTA), Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TRI-MET), and Central Contra Costa County Transit Authority (CCCTA). Direct impacts include changes in operating costs and labor productivity. Indirect impacts include the cost of any concessions which management makes to obtain PTLI, and the performance of PTOS - their absenteeism, accidents, and attrition.
