BOSTON (AP) — The National Guard said Thursday that it will provide school transportation services to four more Massachusetts school districts.

In response to requests for assistance by local governments, the Guard will begin service in Haverhill, Revere, Wachusett, and Worcester.

The Guard is already providing school transportation support in Brockton, Chelsea, Framingham, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, Lynn, Quincy, Woburn, and Worcester.

Gov. Charlie Baker mobilized the Guard last month to make up for a shortage of school bus drivers across the state.

More than 190 members of the Guard have since completed the driver’s certification process to operate transport vans.
