RENO, Nev. (AP) — Reno-area public bus system workers and their employer have reached a tentative contract agreement.
The Regional Transportation Commission announced the development in a news release Friday, saying it ensures there will be no service disruptions for riders.
The RTC says negotiations have been assisted by a federal mediator, and the next step is for Teamsters Local 533 members to vote on the agreement.
The previous agreement ended June 30 between the union and MV Transportation, the Texas-based contractor managing the system.
RTC Executive Director Lee Gibbons says his agency is "pleased a tentative agreement has been reached and looks forward to the union vote on the offer."
A previous offer from MV Transportation was rejected by union members.
Local 533 has represented RTC drivers and support personnel for 25 years.
