Transportation Director II
Description of Duties
This is an administrative level position involving direction, planning, budgeting, and supervision of pupil transportation services for eligible students, including the handicapped, residing within a suburban school district. Employees of this class direct operations activities of routing, scheduling, and busing, and direct the bus maintenance and inspection program for district owned fleet. The director also oversees the bus operator driver safety training program and the maintenance of records necessary for obtaining State Aid.

Work is performed under general supervision from an administrator with wide latitude allowed for the exercise of independent judgment in providing safe, adequate, and cost-effective transportation. Direct supervision is exercised over operations and maintenance staff.
