JCPS and TARC Partner to Address Bus Driver Shortage and Restore Services

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg and JCPS Superintendent Dr. Marty Pollio announced a partnership to lease 70 TARC drivers to JCPS to address a bus driver shortage and restore some bus routes. This plan, pending board approvals, aims to prevent TARC driver layoffs due to ARPA funding ending. The drivers will remain TARC employees but be paid by JCPS. The agreement is set to last one year, with the TARC Board voting on it Friday and JCPS later this month.

"JCPS Considers Solutions to Address Bus Driver Shortage and Potential Service Cuts"

Jefferson County Public Schools is considering a new transportation plan to address a severe bus driver shortage, with options including eliminating transportation for some students, operating central hubs for magnet and traditional schools, or maintaining the current system. The district's analysis indicates that only the option to provide transportation for resident students would reduce the number of routes and alleviate bus delays, but it comes with its own challenges. With the shortage expected to worsen next year, the board will make a final decision in March, while also exploring driver retention and recruitment efforts.
