Across the country, the transportation industry is experiencing a labor shortage related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Valley Metro is no exception.
Due to a lack of Valley Metro bus operators, there may be disruptions to schedules, including delayed service and missed trips. The agency apologizes for this inconvenience as riders choose to ride Valley Metro across the Valley.
To help locate the next arriving bus or train, riders can download the Valley Metro app. This app provides real-time vehicle tracking, updated schedule information and rider alerts. Download now in the Google Play or Apple App stores.
Another environmentally friendly transit option is to find a carpool at ShareTheRide.com. This is a ride-matching program for people with similar commuting travel patterns.
Valley Metro says it is actively working on solutions to better attract and retain a quality workforce in this rapidly changing environment. Positions are available now for operators, maintenance staff and security personnel.
