With school starting this week, Salt Lake City seeks to hire some 20 new school crossing guards.
The pay is $17 an hour, a free UTA pass and the city is offering a $250 signing bonus. Last year, school crossing guards in Utah's capital city helped students cross the street 457,074 times.
"I love it when I can go out and help do the crossings. It just always puts a smile on my face when I'm able to get out there and help those kids. They're all hilarious. It's fun to see them get excited to go to school and play with all their friends and then go home and tell their parents or whoever how awesome their school day was. I've never had a bad day doing a crossing," Ridge said.
Unified police crossing guard April McCoy escorts people across 3900 South at 700 West on the border of South Salt Lake and Millcreek on Monday. Salt Lake City is looking to fill vacant crossing guard positions and is offering $17 an hour plus a $250 signing bonus. Some school crossing guards he supervises have worked for 20 years helping to ensure the city's students make it safely to and from school, Ridge said.
