School Bus Driver Recruitment Week

We need your help! As you may be aware, Pennsylvania is still facing a school bus driver shortage. Unfortunately, the number of licensed school bus drivers in the Commonwealth has steadily declined since 2015, despite the fact that the number of students transported by school bus every day is over 1.5 million and has not declined at all in the last ten years.  It has become commonplace for schools to have to adjust their bell schedules due to the driver shortage, change or cancel bus routes, or even cancel the school day altogether, despite the best efforts of their pupil transportation contractor.

In response to this dire need of drivers, the Pennsylvania School Bus Association (PSBA) is holding a state-wide School Bus Recruitment Week from Saturday, May 6- Saturday, May 13, 2023. We are hoping, that with your help, we can promote our event and website (https://schoolbushero.com/hiring-events) by encouraging interested individuals to attend a hiring event in their area and consider becoming a school bus driver. Linked below you will find social media posts that can be used to help promote the PSBA 2023 Recruitment Week.
