Bus Driver Shortages continue to create major challenges for school districts across the country, affecting routes, schedules, and overall operations. Traditional hiring methods are no longer enough to solve Bus Driver Shortages, especially as competition for CDL drivers increases across multiple industries. Districts must shift toward proactive solutions that focus on building a reliable pipeline of future drivers. Introducing ELDT theory training to students before graduation helps prepare them for real-world driving roles while reducing onboarding time. By addressing Bus Driver Shortages early, schools can create long-term stability and improve transportation reliability.

In August 2025, INFINITI Workforce is releasing 7 updated videos spanning their Schools and Trucking content packages. The releases include 4 redone videos, with updates focusing on suicide prevention resources for schools and DOT medical certification procedures. Content changes involve standardizing naming conventions, with “School Bus” references being updated to the more inclusive “Schools” designation. A new production titled “Hydroplaning Safety for Truck Drivers” has been added to the Trucking package, providing commercial drivers with critical safety information for wet road conditions.
The role of school bus drivers in disaster relief efforts is often overlooked but critically important. These dedicated professionals not only ensure the safety of children during normal times but also become vital assets during crises. In the wake of natural disasters, school bus drivers may be called upon to assist in evacuation efforts, transport supplies, or help relocate displaced residents. Their training in safety protocols and ability to remain calm under pressure make them invaluable contributors to community resilience and recovery.
The September 2024 release includes 10 videos, with 1 new and 9 modernized pieces of content, split equally between trucking and schools. The new trucking content covers yard moves, while the modernized trucking videos address general orientation, driving around school buses, and distracted driving. The school-related videos focus on handling allergies on buses, fixed object collisions at different speeds, route and stop reviews, and school bus security.
