Bus Contractors Seek Rate Increases To Cover Rising Costs

SNOW HILL – Facing rising fuel and maintenance costs, school bus drivers continue to advocate for increased pay.

Members of the Worcester County Bus Contractors Association are expected to approach the Worcester County Commissioners next week to share rate concerns they don’t believe have been addressed by the school system. They say they’re struggling to cover expenses with what they’re currently paid.

“This is not what we want,” said Mike Donoway, president of the association. “This is what we need.”

Donoway and other members of the bus contractors association approached the school board last month seeking an increase in rates. With not enough done by the school system in their view, they’re now asking the Worcester County Commissioners for help.

“The reality is we can’t afford to keep our buses on the road,” said bus driver Lori Thompson, secretary of the association.
