Ohio school districts are facing a significant shortage of bus drivers, leading to delays and disruptions in student transportation. Competition from private companies offering higher pay and benefits, coupled with extensive training requirements, has made it difficult for schools to hire and retain drivers.

Legislation mandating transportation for students attending nonpublic schools further complicates staffing and budgeting challenges for districts across the state.
