LYCOMING COUNTY, Pa. There is currently an ongoing shortage of school bus drivers across the state of Pennsylvania. According to the Pennsylvania School Bus Association, the number of drivers continues to dwindle by the year. This is something that is not only a state issue; it is a national issue. School bus companies and schools across the country are struggling to really recruit and retain drivers, said Ryan Dellinger of the Pennsylvania School Bus Association.
School districts like Loyalsock Township have been hit hard by the shortage. Some of their drivers are having to run double shifts.
