(Harrisburg, PA) The Shapiro Administration announced on Friday that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is investing nearly $250,000 to help seven schools and transportation providers across Pennsylvania cover the costs to train new bus drivers, including commercial driver’s license (CDL) training, trainee wages, and testing and permit fees. This first-ever investment is part of the newly established School Bus Safety Program from the Shapiro administration to increase school bus safety for the students and communities of Pennsylvania.
