States and school districts report a nationwide driver shortage as a thriving economy reduces applicants while licensing and drug testing requirements tighten. Districts like Cedar Rapids and College Community have expanded routes and incentives to attract and retain drivers, with substitutes filling gaps and drivers juggling multiple routes.
About 47 percent of Iowa students ride buses. Cedar Rapids lists 124 drivers for 87 routes, Western Dubuque 90 drivers, Linn-Mar 50, College Community 55, Marion 12, and Iowa City Coach 90 drivers on 70 routes. Hourly pay varies from roughly 7 to 15 dollars with guaranteed hours per day for some districts.
