Pennsylvania has introduced its first-ever School Bus Safety Grant Program to help schools and transportation providers improve student safety. The program provides funding to support driver training, licensing, and safety education efforts across the state.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has already awarded nearly $250,000 to several schools and transportation companies. The funding helps cover costs such as CDL training, testing fees, and wages for new drivers, making it easier to bring more trained drivers into the workforce.
Officials say the program will help schools build stronger driver teams and ensure that students have safe, reliable transportation every day. Additional grant opportunities are expected to continue supporting safety improvements across Pennsylvania.
