SUBJECT: Explore Possibility of GA Recipients BeingHired
by BART for Ambassador Rider Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Request the County Administrator's Office and the Interim Social
Services Director to contact BART to explore the possibility of
General Assistance recipients being trained for entry-level
positions should BART pursue its Ambassador Rider Program.
BACKGROUND
BART is considering an Ambassador Rider Program whereby employees
ride BART trains to find out how well service is being provided and
how it can be improved. Should BART management move forward on
this program, it would be appropriate to consider hiring General
Assistance recipients to fill these positions, thereby providing
a benefit to the recipient through employment and to BART in cost
savings .
