DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS

Transit Supervisor is the supervisory level in the transit series. This classification is distinguished from the lower level classifications of Transit Dispatcher and Senior Bus Operator in that the latter classifications may schedule staff, call relief drivers to cover shifts, adjust routes, and assist with assigning duties in the absence of a Transit Supervisor, but lack formal supervisory responsibility while the Transit Supervisor is the full supervisory level.
