JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Jackson leaders said they were informed on Thursday about a possible JTRAN workers strike on Friday, May 17.

“We are notifying riders now of this possibility so that they can make alternate transportation plans if this happens,” officials said.

Earlier this week, city leaders scheduled a meeting with JTRAN drivers. The meeting was set 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,” officials stated.

JTRAN riders were asked to pay attention to the JTRAN website and app.
