Logan, like many other cities across Utah, is experiencing a tight labor market due to a low applicant pool for businesses to hire. Because of this, the Cache Valley Transit District announced its reducing service by 18% due to staff shortages.According to KUTV, CVTD CEO Todd Beutler estimates the district is down approximately 40 positions. He said the company is considering raising pay in order to attract applicants and increase service again. He said he’s doing market analysis to make sure the company is “staying competitive.” However, he doesn’t yet have a solution.
As of now, starting pay as a CVTD bus driver is $15 an hour with benefits.
