It was day two at Centennial College in Toronto, ON, where International President John Costa and International Vice Presidents from maintenance, Jim Lindsay, John Callahan, Curtis Howard, Ray Greaves, and Art Aguilar, continued discussing critical issues affecting our members, like blind spots that can be solved by the bus of the future design. They also held a lengthy discussion about the logistics of the collaborative program, including the curriculum and what our members need to maintain battery electric buses safely by comparing programs in the United States and Canada.
IP Costa and the IVP's experience as maintenance workers was invaluable to the discussion around empowering our members through training. This partnership of collaboration gives us the opportunity to now protect the interest of our membership based on innovation, design, and study.
