Lawmakers have introduced a bill that offers a creative solution to the transportation issues faced by many school districts across the state this year.
TUCSON, Ariz. — School districts across Arizona have struggled with getting students to and from school this year. Part of the issue is a shortage of qualified school bus drivers. Now, some Arizona lawmakers are hoping to help by changing the rules about what types of vehicles can take kids to school.
The bill, sponsored by State Senator Sine Kerr, would give schools the ability to use vans that fit 11 to 15 passengers. The bill also aims to give more people the opportunity to drive for schools without getting a commercial drivers license. Senator Kerr says its hard to keep commercial drivers working for districts when there are higher paying jobs out there.
Lawmakers brought up one concern in Wednesday's committee meeting. They worried schools might not be able to get these new kinds of vehicles insured.
