Representative Carter Introduces Bill to Address Bus Driver Shortage
Representative John Carter (TX-31) introduced H.R. 8041, the Driving Forward Act, this week. The bipartisan Driving Forward Act extends the current under-the-hood test exemption to get qualified individuals into the driver's seat to address the nationwide shortage of bus drivers. Original cosponsors of the legislation include Representatives Henry Cuellar (D-TX-28), Virginia Foxx (R-NC-05), Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD-02), Pete Sessions (R-TX-17), and Glenn "GT" Thompson (R-PA-15). The National School Transportation Association supports the bill.
