New York state is making it easier to get commercial driver’s licences to help with the shortage of school bus drivers.
The Department of Motor Vehicles will remove a 14-day waiting period between permit test and road test. They will offer additional writing and road test opportunities.
Interested drivers can fill out a survey on the DMV website that will be shared with school districts in need.
School districts reported a driver shortage due to the Delta variant and disagreements over mask requirements.
