East Baton Rouge schools are stepping up big time to fix their ongoing bus driver shortage. Drivers willing to take on extra routes will now see a pay bump to $18 an hour, and there’s a $500 bonus for anyone who helps recruit a new driver who sticks around. The district is still short nearly 50 drivers, which means some routes are unassigned and kids can face delays. Recent upgrades like air-conditioned buses, GPS tracking, and new start times are helping, but the real challenge is getting enough drivers behind the wheel. What do you think—will these incentives finally solve the problem? #Transportation #BatonRouge #SchoolBus
