Labor Status

StarTran, Inc., and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1091 have yet to reach an agreement on a contract. ATU 1091 has rejected StarTran's final contract proposal. Although a strike is possible, both parties have expressed a willingness to continue to negotiate.

Should a service interruption occur, StarTran and Capital Metro are prepared to serve the public by operating key bus routes. Capital Metro cannot predict if or when a strike may occur, but the Authority will be ready to operate on a reduced level of service to provide coverage to the busiest routes and those that serve major destinations such as hospitals, schools, the central business district and areas with a high number of riders.

In the event of a strike, Capital Metro will operate on a reduced level of service, focusing on the busiest routes and those that serve major destinations from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily. During a strike no fares will be charged.
