===How the Portable Numbering System seems to work===
 
−
From the way the units fall in the portable number system, it looks like Portable 1-4 must have been the original units, because they go from highest power to lowest, from Director, Dispatcher, Maintenance, to Mechanics. This may be back when the authority first opened.
 
−
 
−
It seems that more people were added, going from highest to lowest command again, starting with Dispatch Supervisor to Dispatcher, then all operations, being Director, Manager, & Supervisor.
 
−
 
−
This theory can't be 100% confirmed, but it lines up better that any other theory tried. One other theory was it went by last names in order or jobs in order, but these were busted almost immediately.

+
* Portable 10 - Appears to be temp or misc unit as nobody stays at this num, also was used by Ebensburg Senior Center for a while in the Rural Divsion by Aging Agency. (As of July 2013 the Ebe Sen Cen unit no longer exists).
  
−
* Not Yet Heard - Purchasing/Maintenance Manager '''[Speculation]'''
+
* Portable 11 - Dispatcher/Supervisor Use (Assistant Road Supervisor) (See Note 1) - (Note: As stated above, this is the unit who IDed as 10 before.)
  
 +
* Portable 12 - Dispatcher/Supervisor Use(See Note 1)
  
−
**Note 1: Portable numbers are mainly used on Urban. Also the Cambria County Area Agency on Aging has a Portable 10 and shares Rural's channels, so normally Portable 10 on Rural channels is theirs not CamTran's.
+
* Portable 13 - 9/22 Rural Service Person/Jockey (Mainly for Refuel) - Previously Referenced Randomly Twice - Never Heard 2/15
  
−
**Note 2: Dispatcher Use is when a Dispatcher goes on the road (each has their own  number) to do road detour work or some special assignment (normally special events like parades).
+
* Portable 50 - Security Guard at TC 9/22
  
−
**Note 3: Portable 10 is kind of a weird unit, because it was only heard during the Halloween Parade '08 and no identifying information was heard. Due to P10 helping out during the Halloween Parade that points to a non-maintenance/operations person. Everyone in operations is covered except the Executive Director and the CamTran+ Op Man. Seems to be most likely CamTran+ Op Man due to Executive Director almost never getting involved with day-2-day operations and CamTran+ Op Man is almost always working with day-2-day ops. Unit was not heard during Halloween Parade '09.
+
* Portable 123 - Formerly Buildings & Grounds Assistant - ''Was 3'' New 1/13 '''[Verified]'''  
  
−
**Note 4: Portable 127 & 128 seem to sometimes be working in the Urban division but seem to work at the Inclined Plane other days. It's almost like a coin-flip as to where they will work at times.
+
* Portable 124 - Ebensburg Mechanics/Technicians - New as of 1/13
  
−
===Chain of Command (Highest to Lowest)===
+
* Portable 125 - TC Custodians - New as of 1/13

−
* Portable 5
 
−
* Portable 2 & 6
 
  
−
===Route/Road Detour Work===
+
* Portable 126 - B&G Laborer
−
* Portable 5 - Main Route Detour Worker
 
−
* Portable 2 & 6 - Second choices if not needed for Dispatch (usually on weekends that have special events when P5 doesn't normally work or weekday when P5 is on vacation or busy, though sometimes P2 (arriving 6AM-2PM) works along with P5 (arriving normal 8:30AM-4:30PM) the same day, now that a third dispatcher has been hired).
 
−
* Portable 8 - Third Choice for Route Detour Work (Rare)
 
−
* Portable 7 - May be 4th choice but never actually heard doing Detour Work
 
  
−
===Who's Who In Command===
+
* Portable 127 - Maintenance & Procurement Director (Mechanics/Garage (Portable 4/124) and Buildings & Grounds)'''[Verified]'''
  
−
* Executive Director - Seems to never be on the radio and main job seems to be in charge of all directors from Operations all the way to IT, Marketing & Planning (who don't use radios either).
+
* Portable 128 - Building & Grounds/Facilities Maintenance Manager - Formerly various Buildings & Grounds Supervisors (Building Maintenance and Grounds Keeping) '''[Verified]'''
  
−
* Director of Operations/Safety/Security/Risk Management - Seems to be the guy who is always contacted of bus injuries and accidents involving buses. Seems also do training sometimes but radio use is very limited.
+
* Portable 129 - Formerly B&G Laborer who is now B&G Assistant - Was Purchasing/Service Manager (Job Split into two jobs now, Parts/Service Manager and Procurement/Compliance Specialist) ''Was 9'' '''[Verified]'''
  
−
* Manager of Operations - Seems to rarely be on the radio but at tad more than the Director. Seems to be the driver's boss and handles road detour work when the Sup of Ops is busy and cannot do it, if one of the Dispatchers aren't assigned to it.
+
* Portable 130 - Inclined Plane Assistant (Buildings & Grounds) (more likely) OR Procurement/Compliance Specialist (Possibly Backup Maintenance Director) '''[Speculation]'''
  
−
* Supervisor of Operations - Seems to be the main operations guy that Driver/Dispatchers go to when they need a supervisor. Is the main roads detour person. Also handles a lot of training, picking up passed-up passengers, & checking areas for buses running late then taking them to bus/where they need to go. May be in charge of Dispatchers, as it's not clear if a new Dispatch Supervisor was selected from the now 3 current Dispatchers.
 
  
−
* Dispatcher/Supervisor - This is kind of a weird title because they normally dispatch but at any time can become supervisors using their assigned portable numbers and can do anything from training to simple route detour work. The Road Detour Work being the most popular usage. Normally go to Sup of Ops with any thing of importance but seem to make more decisions when acting as a Portable (maybe temp in charge if P5 is not there) vs Dispatcher where everything seems to go through Sup of Ops. Dispatchers seem always ask a higher up before making a decision unless no one is available.

===The Low-Down on Rural===
+
===Portables===
−
** Note: Radio usage is extremely low on Rural channels and most traffic is Area Agency on Aging. No Portable or special units have ever been heard on Rural channels. It's basically a bus to bus or bus to dispatch type of radio usage, nothing special like Urban. Though some fire departments are said to have Rural programmed in to their radios, no evacuations or anything like what is on Urban has ever been heard on Rural. Rural also has no where near the employees of Urban. Also the radio coverage is horrible at times, so landlines need to be used instead further lowering the activity.
+
Starting 1/13 the Rural Division started getting Portables, check "Portables" under Urban for more info.

** Note 7 - Rural buses usually stay on Rural for when they are not in Johnstown which most are not. Though some buses like the Route 30 Ebensburg/Johnstown use Ch. 3 when in Rural area but Ch. 1 in Urban area so that Urban buses can tell the 30 when they have passengers or vice-versa, and besides Rural channels work lousy in Johnstown due to how far away the repeaters are, Nanty-Glo and Carrolltown. Also, Johnstown ADA routes use Urban.

**Note 8: Even though Portable 10 is the person who is called when drivers are worried when someone doesn't answer the door for a meal delivery or to go somewhere, sometimes, drivers just contact Ebensburg Base/Dispatchers instead. Why sometimes using P10 and sometimes Dispatchers is not yet clear. Though it is assumed that if the driver thinks the person is home just not answering the door, Dispatch can handle it, yet if possibly mail is stacked up & other things point to bad, P10 is contacted.

−
**Note 9: Now it may seem confusing why an agency would start with the number 10 instead of starting with 1. It is believed, since Aging knew CamTran was using Portable 1-9 at the time they needed a number (unknown when this actually was), they knew 10 was unused. It seems though this logic has disappeared since CamTran now seems to have gotten their own Portable 10. Yet it seems Aging didn't care to move up to Portable 11, which actually could come in use soon, for another Dispatcher Use.

===Why Aging Was Added To This Page===
 
−
Even though it's obvious that the Cambria County Area Agency on Aging is a completely different agency than CamTran/CamTran+, it's included on this page for the following reasons:
 
  
−
* 1: Aging shares the same channels with CamTran+ (Rural) (so if you listen to Rural you hear Aging no matter if you don't want to)
 
  
−
* 2: CamTran mechanics do Aging's mechanical work
 
  
−
* 3: Aging and CamTran+ share a building in Ebensburg
 
  
−
* 4: Because of their use of the "Portable" type for supervisors, it can confuse who's unit(s) you are listening to, especially if you don't hear them call an A or C bus. A being Aging and C for CamTran+.
 
  
−
* 5: Finally, they just are not big enough of an agency to create a completely seperate page just for them.
