- Our Local 1249 in Springfield, IL, launched the state’s first ATU-exclusive mentorship program for transit operators. This ATU-driven initiative pairs our experienced members with newly hired operators and those in need of additional support through a structured peer-to-peer mentoring model.
- This program builds on successful mentorship models pioneered by under the leadership of International President John Costa. It is also unique in that it is fully owned, operated, and led by our members and local leadership at Local 1249. #ATUMentorshipsFeb 3, 2026 17:50
