Overview

Summary

Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT) is seeking proposals from qualified staffing and workforce solution providers to support the agency’s public transportation operations through comprehensive recruitment, hiring, and workforce management services. CAT is looking for a strategic partner capable of supplying skilled and reliable personnel across a variety of operational and administrative roles, including Transit Technicians, Maintenance Workers, Bus Operators/Drivers, Inventory Specialists, and Administrative Support staff. The selected contractor will assist CAT in maintaining a safe, efficient, and dependable transit system by delivering high-quality staffing services that align with CAT’s operational standards and workforce needs.

The scope of services includes temporary staffing, temp-to-hire placements, and direct hire recruitment for positions based on CAT’s established job descriptions. For temporary placements, the Contractor will be responsible for the full staffing lifecycle, including recruitment, candidate screening, background investigations, drug and alcohol testing where applicable, onboarding, payroll administration, and ongoing workforce management.

This contract will be funded in part through federal assistance and requires full compliance with all applicable Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations and requirements. CAT encourages proposals from firms with strong recruitment capabilities, knowledge of Department of Transportation (DOT)/FTA compliance standards, and a commitment to workforce diversity and operational excellence.
