Today’s
challenges —
School transportation providers
face deepening challenges in today’s uncertain world:
Shrinking budgets in the
midst of constantly rising expectations by parents
Emergency preparation which
goes beyond a 3-ring binder gathering dust on a shelf
The sickening prospect of
terrorism against a school bus
Disruptive and violent students
and the bullying and harassment of vulnerable students
Intensifying traffic congestion
and increasingly aggressive motorists, exposing children to
greater danger at bus stops
Providing effective driver,
attendant, student, and parent educational programs that
address current problems and concerns and fosters a high level
of safety awareness
Maintaining a positive working
environment in the transportation department in such
turbulent and emotionally-charged times
Managing liability exposure
in an increasingly litigious society
Complying with a bewildering
tangle of federal and state laws and regulations impacting
student transportation
In today’s challenging world,
school transportation is too important - and has become too
demanding - to “go it alone.” |
