School Bus Transportation
As we are settling into the school year, you might have seen some delays with our school buses.
Even though we have drivers assigned for our school district runs, if one of the drivers takes a day off, NRT does not have adequate coverage. If there are new drivers or substitute drivers, it takes time to become familiar with the routes.
This is very common in the transportation industry right now. NRT is working very diligently on training new drivers, and finding new potential candidates.
We will communicate any delays as soon as we receive notification from the bus company.
If anyone is interested in driving a School Bus for our Transportation Provider NRT, please reach out to them at (978) 562-5186. They are very willing to help anyone become trained for their school bus licensure!
