At Arrowhead Transit, we believe safety is key for all employees and customers. Through comprehensive training and testing within the company, Arrowhead Transit empowers drivers to navigate the roads with confidence, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey for all passengers. We provide our drivers with smart features, paid training, peer support groups, paid time off to promote work/life balance, and broader assets that improve employee safety.
Safety Training for Drivers
As part of our bus driver training curriculum, we cover a wide range of topics essential for safe driving. This includes pre-trip inspections, emergency procedures, passenger assistance, and defensive driving techniques. Additionally, we emphasize diversity, equity, and inclusion in our training program, ensuring that drivers are equipped to serve passengers from diverse backgrounds effectively.
As part of ongoing professional development, drivers and dispatchers undergo regular training sessions on topics such as CPR, first aid, drug and alcohol awareness, and customer service. Our bus mechanics receive training to ensure that vehicles are maintained to the highest standards of safety and reliability.
Safety Through Technology
Our drivers are provided driver seat barriers and, through the Arrowhead Transit Dispatch Center, all bus operations are monitored using GPS-based technology. The technology provided to our drivers (and customers) keeps our drivers focused on providing a great transit experience. And our increasingly green fleet of both hybrid and electric buses make driving for Arrowhead Transit a customer and future-focused career!
Arrowhead Transit also collaborates with other rural transportation providers to offer training and support, fostering a culture of excellence and accountability across the transportation industry. Learn more about how we do safety and training at Arrowhead Transit.
