More than 100,000 Marketplace Appointments have been scheduled.  You can access your appointments through your Marketplace Passport (link for the Passport can be found on the left menu bar of www.buses.org/marketplace) or above under your delegate number and password.  Select the View Appointment Schedule stamp.  If Message Center is on screen, please select Schedule Management tab.  Refer to the Quality Appointment Guide for viewing your schedule.  If you use Internet Explorer 7 as your internet browser you may need to hold down the CTRL key when selecting either the Word or Excel exports of your schedule.
