Strike Continues: Santa Clarita Transit’s Bus Service Suspended
The bus driver union contracted with Santa Clarita Transit has entered its second day on strike, causing a halt in service for hundreds of students and passengers in the city.
Santa Clarita Transit posted on its website that service has been suspended on all commuter and local routes. The suspension comes as a result of a driver shortage, which forced Santa Clarita Transit to suspend all bus service on Monday.
This strike has disrupted bus service for students in the William S. Hart Union High School District and passengers throughout the city.
The city of Santa Clarita partners with MV Transportation for bus services. The union voted to authorize a strike on September 15. MV Transportation stated that the city of Santa Clarita is not involved in the labor dispute.
The union notified Santa Clarita Transit on September 28 of their decision to halt work, but postponed the strike for a week.
City officials are urging both sides to continue negotiations and bargain in good faith until an agreement is reached.
Santa Clarita Transit offers a school tripper service for students in the Hart district who attend La Mesa Junior High School, Castaic High School, Rancho Pico Junior High School, Saugus High School, and Arroyo Seco Junior High School.
MV Transportation states that it is working with the Hart district to provide a staggered bus service for students. The district has also secured additional bus services with LA Charter in case of any disruptions.
