Safety Commitment

We Drive Safety Forward

As people, parents, and professionals, there’s nothing we care more about than safety. We push ourselves to drive innovation and pursue operational excellence, making our industry-leading safety standards even more rigorous to protect students with disabilities, children experiencing homelessness, and others who rely on Alternative Student Transportation every day.

We Were the First. We Go the Furthest.

We founded Alternative Student Transportation 20+ years ago. From day one, we’ve earned the trust of administrators and families because of our approach: continuous improvement and constant vigilance. Safeguarding students transcends all other priorities for our work, and we are relentless in pursuing it, every day across every scenario.

Our 360-Approach to Safety

The safest student transportation requires complete commitment from every aspect of an organization. When the rubber hits the road, safeguarding students is about actions, not words. Our safety standards adhere to applicable Department of Education regulations and surpass the competition, and we continue to move them in the right direction.

Here’s everything we do to fulfill our promise and our purpose.

Safety Innovation

Our driver and monitor vetting protocol is exhaustive and includes regular follow-ups in addition to initial, comprehensive assessments.
  • Premium Driver Screenings: pre-service drug testing; multi-layered background checks, including the National Sex Offender Registry; and motor vehicle record reviews
  • Random and post-accident drug testing for drivers as well as ongoing DMV and criminal monitoring
  • 13 screening requirements for monitors, including criminal background checks and drug testing

Extensive Vehicle Inspections

One inspection is not enough to guarantee vehicle safety. We believe in due diligence and build accountability with a multi-step process.
  • 50-point annual safety inspection, which includes ramp and lift equipment for relevant vehicles
  • Additional annual inspection by a third-party mechanic
  • Automated pre-trip texts to drivers, requiring confirmation that they conducted a 15-point daily inspection of the interior and exterior of the vehicle, as well as daily cleaning and disinfection
  • Random safety checks on vehicles at the discretion of local operation teams

Best-In-Class Driver
Education and Safety

We designed a first-of-its-kind driver education course in partnership with the School Bus Safety Company and experts in transportation safety to improve driver and monitor performance. This comprehensive course includes details on safe driving practices, defensive driving, and sensitivity to student needs.
  • An education course, which includes six modules and a 40-question final exam, taken semiannually
  • An English proficiency test
  • Blue EverDriven vests and ID badges for drivers, and clear identification for vehicles

The Highest Compliance Standards

Our compliance team ensures we meet our own rigorous safety protocols and compliance with applicable Department of Education, federal, and state regulations.
  • Commercial-grade insurance that allows us to support every student
  • Demonstrated compliance for partnering school district
  • Adherence to the physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to secure student data

Ever-Present
Operational Support

When difficulties arise—bad weather, roadwork, or last-minute changes—school district staff and families can reach a real person in real time. Personalized support from caring, competent local teams is key to following through on our purpose, safely.
  • A Denver-based call center available for school district staff, administrators, and families
  • A local point person on the operations team for school districts, who they can reach on a direct line
  • Drivers who prioritize comfort for students, from selecting their favorite music to following their temperature preferences

Safety Innovation

As a leader in modern transportation, we leverage industry-leading technology to raise the status quo, heightening safety precautions and transparency.
  • Smart routing around high-traffic areas, construction zones, and closed roads
  • Real-time student tracking for caregivers and school staff using the EverDriven RideAware app
