If your organization has a recruitment or retention initiative that you are currently working on, you can simply schedule your event on November 13th, sign-up to participate, and market your event as “National Transit Career Day”

If your organization is currently hiring, and has multiple jobs to fill, we recommend a public facing event like a career fair. You would publicize your career fair as National Transit Career Day and invite professionals in various job categories to bring their CV and learn about careers.

APTA will provide resources like “how to” 1-page checklists and “day in the life of” career videos to help.

If your organization is not hiring, you could host a student tour of a facility or send a bus/operator/manager/maintainer to school to introduce students to the technology and equipment. You could also engage your organization’s employees by planning tours on November 13, 2025. So often your staff members are the experts in their own area yet have very little exposure to locations, tasks, and staff in other locations or careers. Ultimately, you can consider assigning time/budget to organize the best National Transit Career Day event to meet the needs of your organization.
