Improvement Package Summary
1 of 1
This improvement package request seeks funding to create a new part-time Bus Attendant Position
(0.50 FTE, GE-23A). This position is needed due to safety concerns with students on the afternoon
buses. Student ridership continues to increase, which also results in increases in safety concerns and
distractions for drivers.
This position would encourage students to follow the Jule passenger policies for a safe riding
experience for all passengers and drivers. The bus attendant will be scheduled on school days from
1:30-5:30 pm. This position will notify The Jule management of anyone not adhering to Jule passenger
policies. The Transit Bus Attendant will report any incidents that involve Dubuque Community School
Students to the Student Resource Officers to identify and issue appropriate discipline. Ultimately this
position will have a friendly rapport with and mentor student riders. This position will ensure riders,
drivers and students have a positive and safe experience riding The Jule. In addition to patrolling
buses, this position will be required to have a Class B CDL with passenger and air brake endorsements
to fill in as a bus operator on non-school days.
This request relates to the City Council Goal Connected Community: Equitable Transportation,
Technology Infrastructure, and Mobility.
