Texas State Tram drivers are planning to meet with their contracting company First Transit in early May. It will be a mediated negotiation aimed at improving communication and avoiding a potential strike. Some of the terms that tram drivers are asking for are health insurance benefits and higher pay. Tram drivers are paid ten dollars an hour, while San Marcos Public School drivers get 12. Texas State Trams are completely paid for through student fees, which will be increasing in 2014 to pay for new buses, driver costs and maintenance.
