Hill Country Transit District contracts with TxDOT, the Texas Department of Health, the Area Agency on Aging, United Way, and with the Cities of Killeen and Temple for Community Services Block Grant Funds. Innovations and Highlights Hill Country Transit District has a unique and very detailed orientation process for new drivers that has resulted in less driver turnover and better driver morale. Once pre employment drug screening results have been received, the orientation process begins. A detailed review of the Hill Country Transit District Policies and Procedures Manual is given, which includes instructions on how to complete all required paperwork. The next day is spent in the operations office where new drivers must successfully complete both a written and an onboard driving exam.
