CPS students could get free CTA rides to school as district tries new workarounds to bus driver shortage
Martinez said district vendors are offering bus drivers at least $20 an hour — an increase from the last school year — to make CPS competitive with the suburbs in attracting and retaining employees.
CPS CEO Pedro Martinez talks to reporters at Mount Greenwood Elementary School in Chicago on March 3. “Our school has a program for severe and profoundly disabled students, and they require adult accompaniment. Most of them use wheelchairs, and many require specialized equipment,” Costas said. “There’s not an Uber in this world that can provide that and certainly not for $500 or $1,000 a month round trip. Our kids need transportation. They need safe, reliable, expedient transportation that accommodates all of their needs.
