Bus Routes

Important transportation update

Roseburg Public Schools is experiencing several issues with our busing system due to staffing shortages at First Student, our transportation provider. Like many other businesses locally and beyond, First Student is experiencing significant challenges recruiting staff. The shortages have required First Student to combine many routes, which has led to scheduling issues and delays. 

In an effort to resolve these issues as soon as possible, First Student is recruiting bus driver applicants. If you know someone who is interested in becoming a bus driver, this would be an excellent opportunity to serve our students and our community. 

The process from application to licensure takes about six weeks to complete, so the sooner we can help recruit applicants, the better. These positions currently start at $17 an hour. First Student is offering a $6,500 sign-on bonus for accredited school bus drivers and a $4,000 sign-on bonus for non-accredited drivers who must go through training. Those interested can contact First Student at 541-672-4191 to learn more about bus driver positions and the application process. To apply, visit workatfirst.com. 

Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding.
