(Jackson, Miss.) – City officials were informed today that JTRAN workers were possibly planning to go on strike tomorrow, Friday, May 17 – once again leaving innocent riders stranded. We are notifying riders NOW of this possibility so that they can make alternate transportation plans if this happens.
Earlier this week, city leaders scheduled a meeting with JTRAN drivers. That meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 22. We hope that drivers will honor their commitment to the city’s ridership and forgo any adversarial actions until after the agreed-upon meeting.
In the meantime, we ask that riders pay close attention to the JTRAN website and app. We will provide updates as soon as they are available.
