🔥 Who Transdev Is Hiring in Colorado Springs

Transdev has been part of the city's transit system for a decade. It started maintaining Mountain Metro's bus fleet in 2016, took over paratransit in 2019, and in February 2023 added the fixed-route and deviated fixed-route service that most riders know as the city bus. That means the drivers on Mountain Metro's routes, from Academy Boulevard to downtown, work for Transdev.

According to ColoradoBiz, the company wants more than 50 bus operators statewide and scheduled a run of November hiring events in Denver, Commerce City and Colorado Springs, with Longmont to follow. Qualified applicants may get a job offer on the spot. The statewide count was not broken down by city, so no Colorado Springs headcount has been announced.

💵 What the Job Pays

ColoradoBiz reports starting pay of $27 to $29 an hour across Transdev's Colorado locations, with sign-on bonuses of up to $4,000 at select sites. The Colorado Springs rate and whether the bonus applies here were not broken out, so ask about both at the event. Benefits include health insurance, retirement options and paid time off.

For context, that starting range sits well above the city's legal minimum wage, and full-time transit work comes with a predictable schedule that a lot of hourly jobs don't offer.
