Here is the weekly E-Newsletter with the news items on the
Keystone Transit Career Ladder Partnership initiative:
- Torrance, California: METRO
Magazine, a national publication that covers surface public transportation,
recently published a story entitled "Pennsylvania Labor, Management Join
Forces in Training Partnership." The story was on the
Keystone Transit Career Ladder Partnership. The story can be accessed at http://www.metro-magazine.com/t_featpick.cfm?id=90507132
- Harrisburg: The Labor Education Institute,
part of the PA State System of Higher Education, and the Keystone Research
Center, are joining forces to sponsor a Conference and Dinner on June
10, 2004 at the Crowne Plaza in Harrisburg , PA. The conference is entitled
" New Ways of Working Together: A Symposium about Partnerships." The
Keystone Transit Career Ladder Partnership is one of the Partnerships to
be highlighted. Tom Mathews and Bob Garraty will be conducting a workshop
on the Keystone program. To register, contact the Institute at (717) 720-4231.
- Statewide: There is one more Statewide
Newsletter (covering Philadelphia , Pittsburgh and the rest of the state)
that is planned for this Fiscal Year. Articles should be sent to Alfred
Turner. You can reach Al at (610) 992-0555. Also Stu Bass informs us
that copies of the recently published and well-received Keystone Philadelphia
Newsletter are still available. Call Stu for copies at (215) 732-7476
x 21.
- National: Both major party candidates
for the Presidency are "Taking the bus" as part of their campaigning.
Copying a tactic utilized by Pennsylvania Governor Rendell, President
Bush and John Kerry have been riding the bus throughout the Mid-West
as they visit the battleground states. Let's hope their buses don't breakdown
because of poor maintenance......or should we?
- Statewide: Please visit our website at http://www.keystonetransit.org/pub.htm for
copies of all the Keystone Newsletters, Keystone/PennTRAIN Maintenance
Course Schedules (including multiple SEPTA maintenance courses that they
are being made available to other Pennsylvania transit properties through
Keystone) and copies of these past E-Newsletters.
- Statewide: This is to remind all
partners and venders that we need to receive all invoices from everyone
on time. All invoices for the fiscal year must be received no later
than July 15, 2004. As spelled out in all Memorandums of Agreement,
the Partnership cannot guarantee payment on any invoice we receive
later than July 15, 2004 .
