Chief Operations Officer Jim Napier, Chief Customer & Business Development Officer Brandon Policicchio and Chief Performance Officer Gene Rhodes are among the individuals on a “qualified operators list.” Employees on the list may be required to operate vehicles during the strike, according to the documents.
The news organizations obtained the document using Ohio public records law. Much of the document, including the list of qualified operators, was redacted — or blacked out — by the transit authority without explanation. Using a computer program called an optical character reader, the news organizations were able to access and read the information blacked-out by RTA.
