| 0:08.3 | And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano. |
| 0:12.8 | And it is Wednesday, September 15th. |
| 0:15.1 | Good morning, Kathy. |
| 0:16.1 | Good morning in the news this morning. |
| 0:17.5 | Philadelphia is doubling its incentives for families who drive their kids to and from school during the bus driver shortage. The school district will now pay families $300 a month or $3,000 for the year if they opt out of transportation services. For another option, families can receive $150 a month for transporting their children to school in the morning and then utilizing the |
| 0:37.9 | school bus service in the afternoon. Superintendent Dr. William Height apologized for the service |
| 0:42.2 | disruption and said the district is teaming up with SEPTA to provide student fare cards to children |
| 0:47.0 | who are eligible for bus van or cab services. Kathy, got to still earn the money if they're not my kids? |
| 0:51.9 | Oh, you can't. I knew you were going to say that. |

| 1:16.8 | School sent a letter home to parents on Friday saying the high school and the intermediate |
| 1:20.6 | school will begin dismissing 45 minutes earlier than usual because the district is understaffed |
| 1:25.8 | by eight drivers. So in order to get the kids home in time, they're letting school out. Earlier, yeah, we talked to a guy. Remember a guy called in and it was raving about being a bus driver and about all the incentives and they're aggressively looking to hire and throwing all sorts of perks at them now. Every bus yard I drive by, there's a sign. We're high-room drivers. The shortage predates the COVID-19 pandemic, but school closures and |
| 1:47.1 | layoffs didn't help in 2020. The New Jersey School Bus Contractors Association has seen a steep |
