Halton Student Transportation Services (HSTS) advises that a shortage of school bus drivers is impacting school bus operations and delays in Halton Region, like many school boards in Ontario.
HSTS is a transportation consortium providing home to school transportation services to students of the Halton District School Board and the Halton Catholic District School Board.
HSTS is working closely with bus companies to minimize the impact on students. Although school bus companies have been actively recruiting and training new drivers, they continue to face service challenges related to the shortage. HSTS is encouraging interested applicants to apply to become a school bus driver.

“We are fortunate to have more than 400 caring professional school bus drivers in Halton,” says David Colley, General Manager of Halton Student Transportation Services. “We hear from our drivers about how school bus driving is a very rewarding and fulfilling part-time career. Thousands of Halton families rely on our school bus drivers to deliver their children to and from school safely. The positive impact they have on our community is truly remarkable.”
“If you enjoy working with children, this could be the perfect, secure, part-time job for you,” adds Colley.
