MT has a rigorous vetting process. Drivers must pass federal, state, and local background checks, and be enrolled in a drug and alcohol consortium for pre-employment, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, and random testing.
In the event of an accident or breakdown, the driver will decide whether to safely evacuate or remain inside the vehicle. The driver will not evacuate the vehicle if danger is not warranted, or if outside conditions display greater hazards than remaining inside the vehicle.
Drivers are advised to evacuate the vehicle in the event they are unable to move the vehicle away from a fire, or if any portion of the vehicle is on fire.
Drivers will not have the student(s) evacuate the vehicle unattended.
An accident is an incident resulting in:
Below are the step-by-step actions a driver shall demonstrate in the case of an emergency:
All drivers are enrolled in a drug and alcohol consortium. The consortium will monitor pre-employment, yearly, random, reasonable suspicion, and post-accident drug and alcohol testing.
MT will review the accident report and follow post-accident protocol. This includes removing the driver from the trip for the next 24-48 hours (depending on the incident) and performing a vehicle inspection. Further inspection of the accident will be conducted if necessary. If the driver is found to be at fault, MT shall do further investigation, and remove the driver if deemed necessary.
To ensure students are transported safely, parents will be given their child’s driver’s name and will be informed of vehicle information such as, make, model, and color. Parents and district officials are informed by MT of any driver changes, including the name of a substitute driver and their vehicle information.
MT will reach out to parents to introduce the firm, explaining what we provide, and will address any questions/concerns they may have regarding transportation. We go above and beyond to prove our commitment to safe student transportation, and it’s important to us that parents, students, and the district know they are in good hands.
Seatbelts must be worn by all persons when the vehicle is in operation. Drivers will not put the vehicle in motion until everyone is properly and safely secured. If a car seat, booster seat, or safety vest is required, the driver must wait until the student is properly and safely secured before vehicle is in operation. In addition, the driver must ensure car seats/booster seats are properly secured in place prior to operation.
