International schools who operate a school transportation service have a wide range of considerations when it comes to ensuring the safe and efficient operations of a transportation service. A well run, safe and trusted transportation service can lead to a more positive overall image of your school, increased enrolment and a positive ROI. School leadership is often challenged by their transportation service as they often lack experience or insights to managing a transportation service which can lead to oversights that leave students and staff in difficult or even unsafe situations. Many schools today are faced with lower transportation usage due to safety concerns stemming from COVID-19.
Our panel of experts will share insights and solutions schools can consider to provide a more safe and efficient transportation service that parents trust, including:
importance of the status of all buses and students at all times
the ability to effectively communicate to staff, students and parents
ensuring that drivers, monitors and other staff are appropriately vetted and trained
considerations for transport operators related to operational safety and efficiency.
Operating a safe and secure school transportation service at international schools is often a vital means of getting students to and from your school. Join our panel of experts to gain insights on how to improve the safety, efficiency and trust in your service.
