Transportation, and APTA-member transit system CEOs and training
directors.

Bus Operator Selection Survey
BOSS is a selection process consisting primarily of a pre-
employment screening survey and structured interview process. The
75-item BOSS survey is administrable by means of paper-and-pencil or online via computer
("eBoss").

The "BOSS" scoring option is $10 per candidate and includes scores
on Attendance and Safety measures, a Score Group Category
for each candidate indicating potential performance on the job, and an Honesty Score Category used to identify if a candidate is misrepresenting him or herself.
