Bus Dispatcher Alert!
Yesterday our team met with BCC staff and Road Personnel to discuss the new BCC changes that took place on July 6th and some of what was clarified at that meeting is the following,
BCC Led Routes:
- BCC Led routes are to be monitored and adjusted by the BCC Dispatchers ONLY!
- No Road Dispatcher is to make a schedule adjustment on any BCC led Route.
- If any manager on the Road tells you (a Road Dispatcher) to make adjustments to a BCC Led Route.
a. Inform the Manager that you are not supposed to adjust any BCC Led Route.
b. If the manager insists, comply and then immediately call your Division Chairman and the BCC Led Route Dispatcher and ask them to document the incident.
Hybrid Routes:
- These routes are handled by both Road and BCC like the way it was when we had Bus Trek in each Borough.
- The Road Dispatcher will be in charge of these routes not the BCC, but both will work together.
Pure Play Consoles
- Same as BCC Led Routes.
- Technology is moving incredibly fast and if the Transit Authority can replace you when they have the right computer program or machine they will do it. Don’t help them by not listening to what we are telling you!
