...I would be responsible for bus transportation of new residents and transporting residents to events. Not only do I not want to drive a bus (for which I don't need to have a CDL), but I don't want to be responsible for the safety of residents. I would also have to get them on-and-off the bus.

Sounds like they're trying to condense job duties to save money. Sad.
