Transport Bus Driver Safety and Development program?
Answer –
With the Safe Pupil Transport Bus Driver Safety and Development program, you will
receive the following:
- A customized website, including your school colors, logo, and mascot, where you
log in to administrate, and your drivers log in to take their training and view
communications

short video sessions paired with a timed power point presentation, followed immediately
by a brief, 8-10 question test.

your drivers and remind them of important safety procedures

of your drivers to read
- A customize administrative reporting system you can access anytime from any internet-ready
computer, that allows you to view which drivers passed which test and which ones
read which document
- A CDL Class “B” tutorial composed of modules covering the six parts of the CDL test
related to School Bus driving
- Free customer support to help you with any issues you might need to resolve, including
customizing logins to determine user access to different levels of materials.
Question 2 – Does this program include extracurricular drivers and coaches?
Answer -
Yes. In fact, Safe Pupil Transport is an excellent way to not only train
your extracurricular drivers and coaches, but to eliminate any excuses they might
have for doing so. With this quick and easy training system, coaches and extracurricular
drivers may access training modules and important documents from any computer you
choose, or on their own time.
Question 3 – What does this program cost?
Answer -
Safe Pupil wants to make this program available to every school district,
from the very large to the very small. Therefore, this comprehensive program costs
you less than $20 per driver, per year, with a minimum of only five drivers.
Question 4 – How does the customized administrative website work? How do
my drivers get there?
Answer -
Once you are signed up with Safe Pupil Transport, our customer service representatives
create the website for you. They will simply require some information about your
school, your logo, your mascot, etc. This website’s URL (internet address like www.safepupiltransport.com)
will be simply yourschoolisd.safepupil.com (example
). The website can then be customized as to what you would like your drivers to
see, including creating several layers of login so that different users may have
access to varied levels of content.
On the administrator side, you can quickly change the type of reporting you view
on your drivers’ progress, modifying a number of different variables. The key here
is that the system is very easy to use, but you can make it as sophisticated as
you need. When this website is created, we can either help you link from your school’s
website. If this is not an option for you, we can show you several other ways that
your site can be accessed. Of course, you and your drivers can always access your
site simply by typing in your site name directly into your internet browser.
