CyRide Run Pick

To pick runs, follow these steps.

Check your seniority number on the list below to see when you can pick. You must pick before the end of your assigned run pick time slot. If you do not pick your runs before the end of your assigned time slot, the next person in line will be allowed to pick before you.

Check the max-hours slots that are available on the list below to see how many hours you can pick up. These will be checked off as people fill them. So, if there are still people above you on the seniority list who have not yet picked, expect this list to diminish as your turn approaches.

Check available runs on the lists below to see which runs you can pick up. These will be marked as they are taken.

Note: a driver may not choose a run until the posted end time of the driver preceding him/her unless the driver immediately before has chosen. You must choose a run before your end time or the next driver may choose a run and you forfeit your place. You may call in any time after that and choose, but your choices are limited to the shifts that are left at that point.

You may do your run pick in one of two ways: in-person or over-the-phone. In either case, please prepare ahead of time and be ready with your run selections so that this proceeds quickly and smoothly. Use the following guidelines to prepare:

  1. Know your seniority number. If you cannot come in to work, give CyRide a call and the receptionist will tell you what it is.
  2. As your turn approaches, check the max-hours list to see how many hours you will likely be allowed to pick up. You can pick as many hours as you want up to your maximum.
  3. Once you know about how many hours you will be getting, start looking through the lists of available runs to see what you would like to pick. Keep in mind that you may need to create a few alternate picks in case people ahead of you in seniority end up taking what you want.
  4. Once your name reaches the top of the seniority list, ensure that the runs you want are still available and double check that the total hours you want do not exceed what is available on the max-hours list.
  5. Call us at (515) 292-1100 and say you are calling for your run pick. You will be connected to a trainer or manager. Tell them which runs you have picked. They will record your picks and will also double check to make sure that no rules are being broken.

A driver may choose any combination of shifts and days as long as the total hours fit within the limitations on the number of hours. Position #25 and after must pick an on-call or a vacation relief as part of your schedule.

All normal scheduling rules apply:
