• Abstract:
  This paper examines extraboard operations and management at TriMet, the transit provider for the Portland Oregon metropolitan area. The ; extraboard consists of a pool of operators who fill open work resulting from absences and other causes. The paper first examines the general ; performance of the extraboard in filling open work, drawing on seven years of daily operations data from three bus garages. It then presents ; statistical analyses focusing on open work patterns and the effects of selected work rules on operator utilization and service delivery. Lastly, ; suggestions are made for improving the efficiency of extraboard operations.
