We are ending the pilot Productivity Incentive Program (PIP) in Bus Maintenance effective at the conclusion of the third quarter (Q3)

Effective with the start of the fourth quarter of 2026, the pilot Productivity Incentive Program (PIP), which has been in place for the past ten years, will end. The program will revert to the original PIP agreement that was negotiated as part of the 1998–2004 contract. The original agreement and the evaluation sheets provided below are simpler to administer, easier to maintain, and better aligned with the program’s intended goals.

Because management has not consistently disseminated this information, we encourage all members to take the initiative to ensure that their depot is using the original PIP evaluation process and not the pilot evaluation process that has been discontinued. If your depot continues using the discontinued evaluation, immediately bring it to management’s attention and notify your union representative so the issue can be addressed.

Discussions with management are ongoing in regard to MTA Bus continued participation in the PIP.

Philip Valenti, President
