Lebanon is riding on us! Without Lebanon Transit, many people in our community couldn’t get to work or school, or run necessary errands. Public transit drivers positively impact others’ quality of life — especially older adults and persons with disabilities, who often rely on public transportation. Plus, drivers help people get to their jobs, classes, and appointments — which drives Lebanon County’s businesses, schools, and other organizations forward.

Openings available immediately for CDL bus drivers (starting at $27.12) and non-CDL van drivers (starting at $22.20).
