Become a Volunteer Trolley Operator! If you’ve ever had an interest in operating a historic trolley this is a great opportunity for you. Even if you’ve never operated a real electric trolley car, we’ll show you how! Our training program teaches new volunteers how to operate our trolleys in a safe manner on a 4-mile scenic open track. The training also covers the duties of a conductor and tour guide. Trolley Operators are needed at the Museum for regular operating days and special events through out the year.
The Museum’s spring 2020 training session is 4 days, April 18, 19 and 25, 26 from 9am-4pm. The cost is $150. Upon completion of the course and 15 student operating days a refund of $100 will be issued.
This is a really exciting time for you to volunteer. This year the Museum plans on starting a multi-million dollar expansion into a new building. We are really looking for help from people like you to help support the museum on this journey!
**All Trolley Operators must be of age of majority, possess a valid Driver's License, be / become a member of the museum, and provide their PA Clearances per PA State Law**

Mission Statement
The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum's mission is to communicate the story of Pennsylvania's Trolley Era to a diverse audience through the preservation, interpretation, and use of its collection of electric railway and railroad equipment, associated artifacts and photo/document archives, and to ensure that its visitors have an enjoyable and rewarding educational experience.
Description
The Pennsylvania Trolley Museum has evolved over the past 50 years from a handful of volunteers and a few trolleys to over 600 members and approximately 50 trolleys preserved at its museum in Washington, Pennsylvania. Visitors get a unique opportunity to actually experience the Trolley Era first hand by riding the Museum's beautifully restored streetcars for a scenic four-mile ride.
At our museum, volunteers of all ages work to preserve and share transportation history through trolley operation, educational tours, and maintenance and restoration work with our collections. We are also looking for volunteers with a variety of interests to help with special events and a wide range of museum operations. Anyone with a passion for trolleys, regional history, or simply serving one's community is welcome to join us!
