RAMP22 Holds Operator Mentor Training and Welcomes New Members

On August 17, 2024, ATU International Workforce Development Coordinator Rich Diaz and California Transit Works! representative Robert Hannibal were in Riverside, CA, for the RAMP 22 operator mentor training. RAMP 22 is the High Road Training Partnership (HRTP) between Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) and ATU - Local 1277. The training session welcomed eight new mentors: Debora Walker, Daphanie Buffington, Felita Moore, Terrica Beattie, Camille Wilson, Seannice Archie, Romell Kidd, Ariana Berry, and the RAMP22 ATU Coordinator, Josie Garcia. The training was also attended by Kristin Warsinski, RTA CEO, and Laura Camacho, RTA Chief Administrative Services Officer.
The mentors were enthusiastic about joining the program and expressed their heartfelt desire to help new coworkers transition into a career in transit and see them succeed. We congratulate them for stepping into this new role. It was an honor to spend the day with the RAMP22 Mentors, who are truly a remarkable group doing great things!
