The transportation department said it hopes to advertise these positions and the increase immediately in an effort to train new drivers over the summer and have all routes filled by the start of school. “And I think we need to stay open-minded with other ways we can make this job more of what someone would want.” “Knowing the challenges we’ve faced with regard to bus drivers, I think it’s important we approve this raise,” said School Board Member Caprice Edmond. The increase also puts Pinellas County drivers among the highest in the Tampa Bay area, ahead of Polk, Hillsborough and Pasco County Schools. Texel mentioned the pay is more in line with private delivery companies and public transit. “One area we feel is a hindrance is driver pay.”Įffective immediately following the approval, bus driver pay went from $16.36 to $19.79 per hour for drivers, $17.98 to $21.76 per hour for relief drivers and $19.79 to $21.76 for lead drivers. “Even with the increased efforts, we are still seeing a shortage of bus drivers,” Texel told the board. Paula Texel, associate superintendent of Human Resource Services, thanked the transportation department as well as the Service Employees International Union and the Florida Public Services Union for assisting with swift research to get the motion in front of the board so quickly.
