APPLETON (WLUK) -- Valley Transit is offering a hiring bonus for new bus drivers amid a driver shortage.

Drivers with a commercial driver’s license with a “P” endorsement and a clean driving record are eligible for a sign-on bonus of up to $5,000.

"Our drivers play a critical role in keeping our community connected to things like employment, education and health care,” said Ron McDonald, Valley Transit general manager. “We are in need of new drivers who already have the qualifications to quickly get on the road and get our passengers to where they need to go.”

Full-time positions come with a $5,000 sign-on bonus, while part-time roles offer $2,500 as a sign-on incentive. Bonuses will be awarded upon successful completion of a six-month probationary period. Employees are required to remain with Valley Transit for at least two years afterward to retain the full bonus amount.
