Yankton Transit Alters Morning Routes

Yankton Transit Alters Morning Routes

Yankton Transit is altering their morning routes, which means they will not be transporting children to school for at least the rest of the school year.

Yankton Transit Operations Manager Terry Kirchner says they have had nearly a thirty-five percent drop in drivers, and that they had to stop driving kids to school as well as recreational rides so they can support people with medical issues as well as people going to work…

Kirchner also says that they are currently looking for drivers and any potential applicants must pass a background check, as well as needing a commercial driver’s license for some of the busses…

Yankton Transit hopes that this is only short term, and that ridership will be open again to anybody that needs it by the fall.
