Pay and Benefits Overview

All benefits as described below are subject to change without notice, and are subject to additional rules, regulations, policies, procedures, and/or contractual agreements for represented employees. Information is as of March 13, 2023.

CDL Training

No CDL? No problem. RTA provides paid commercial driver’s license (CDL) training and covers 100% of the cost to receive your permit and license upon completion of the driver’s test for those who would like to obtain their CDL.

Paid Time Off

All eligible employees are provided paid time off for vacation, sick leave, personal days and various holidays. Earned and paid time off vary by position. RTA provides all eligible employees with Funeral, Jury Duty and Military Leave.

Retirement

Retirement is possible when working for RTA. All RTA employees contribute to the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS). OPERS provides retirement, disability and survivor benefit programs for public employees throughout the state who are not covered by another state or local retirement system. OPERS is not a pension, but a retirement plan. RTA provides 14% of the employee’s total contribution to OPERS. In fact, new employees upon hire bringing previous contributed service under the OPERS may be eligible for additional time off.

Supplemental Retirement Plan Option

RTA offers employees with the option to contribute to an Ohio Deferred Compensation plan. Ohio Deferred Compensation is a supplemental 457(b) retirement plan for all Ohio public employees.

Wellness Program

RTA offers a Wellness Program for all its employees to enroll in, including access to two (2) on-site fitness facilities. By enrolling in the Wellness Program and actively meeting the programs requirements throughout the course of the year, you will receive substantial discounts on your medical and dental insurance payroll contributions.

Medical and Prescription Drug Insurance Coverage

RTA employees have the option to enroll for medical and prescription drug coverage. RTA covers the majority of current plan premiums.  For drivers and maintenance staff RTA currently contributes over $26,000 a year towards family coverage for those active in the wellness program.  RTA does not currently have spousal exclusion for medical and prescription drug insurance coverage. Many employees also have access to Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Depending on your position, the medical and prescription drug coverage carrier and plan may be different. Payroll contributions vary by full and part time positions and choice of plan.

Bus Drivers and Maintenance Positions – Represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU)
Employees in these positions will have the option of a plan through Highmark – PPO Blue. The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) who represents all bus drivers and most maintenance positions elected to have medical and prescription insurance through a different provider than the rest of the employees at RTA.

Flexible Spending Accounts

RTA provides Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) as a convenient way to pay for certain eligible health care and/or dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars. Employees contributing money to an FSA lower their taxable income, which reduces federal income and Social Security taxes. Health Care FSA can be used to pay for health insurance copays, deductibles, and other eligible services and supplies not covered by RTA’s medical and dental plans. The Dependent Care FSA can only be used to pay expenses for dependent care, such as child or elder care while working.

Dental Insurance Coverage

All employees are provided the option for dental insurance coverage through the same provider and at the same cost. RTA shares 90% of the cost for dental insurance when actively enrolled in the Wellness Program. Dental coverage is through Superior Dental Care (SDC). Dental coverage through SDC offers financial protection for maintaining oral health and helps care for general health in the process. Below are the monthly payroll contributions.
