CyRide Fall 2025 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.

• Seniority List

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

• Weekdays
• Saturday
• Sunday

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 can't come in to work, give CyRide a call and the dispatcher will tell you what it is.
2. You may pick up to a maximum of 39.0 hours per week.
3. As your run pick time approaches, 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 39.0 hours.
5. Call us at (515) 292-1100 and say you are calling for your run pick. You will be connected to the run pick manager. Tell them which runs you've picked. They will record your picks and will also double check to make sure that no rules are being broken.
