TransPar Group of Companies to Discuss School Transportation Driver Shortage
Industry Thought Leaders Conducting Webinar to Address How Policy Changes and Economy are Impacting Driver Shortage and What to Do About It
CHARLESTON, S.C., Feb. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The TransPar Group of Companies is partnering with the National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT), to host the webinar Not Your 'Old School' Driver Shortage: How Policy Changes & Today's Economy are Making This Driver Shortage Different – And What to Do About It. The complimentary webinar is taking place on Wednesday, February 27, at 1:00pm EST and will be hosted by Tim Ammon, Chief of Business Development at TransPar Group of Companies.
"Driver shortage is the most talked about and least defined topic in the industry. It is my belief that 'driver shortage' has become shorthand for a variety of different personnel related issues," states Ammon. "Our goal in this webinar is to take this topic apart, define the critical concerns, and begin identifying how we might be able to mitigate and remediate the issues people are facing."
In this webinar, Ammon will address how the current employment and operating environment makes finding enough of the best people to fill your positions more difficult than it has been in the past. The webinar will look beyond surface issues of just pay increases and hours of service to understand how technological expertise and creative policy strategies can help mitigate the impact of the driver staffing crisis.
"We are looking forward to this webinar with NAPT and discussing this critical issue plaguing many school districts and transportation providers," added Ammon. "We intend to build on the useful information provided in NAPT's previous webinar on driver shortage to identify how school districts, contractors and interested industry stakeholders can both better understand the issue and think beyond old answers to new problems."
Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here or at www.napt.org.
