🚗Ensuring Student Safety: First Alt's Comprehensive Driver Clearance Process🚗 At First Alt, we believe in putting student safety first. Our transportation solution maintains rigorous standards for all drivers before they transport a single student. Here's what every First Alt driver must complete: ✅ Valid Driver's License verification ✅ Minimum age requirement of 21 years ✅ Comprehensive background check (with continuous monitoring) ✅ State-required clearances and certifications ✅ Annual Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) check ✅ Enrollment in Drug and Alcohol Consortium for: • Pre-employment screening • Random testing • Post-incident testing • Reasonable suspicion testing ✅ Complete First Student approved training program ✅ Smart phone verification ✅ Photo ID badge issuance Our "One Company, One Standard, One Platform" approach ensures that regardless of vehicle type, every driver meets the same high standards as certified First Student drivers. This consistent approach to safety gives schools and families peace of mind knowing their students are in good hands. #StudentSafety #K12Transportation #DriverRequirements #FirstAlt #SpecialNeedsTransportation #MKVTransportation

🚗The Power of Consistency in Student Transportation🚗 At FirstAlt, we believe that consistency is a foundation for student success. Did you know that having the same driver every day creates a sense of security for students, especially those with special needs? Our "same driver, every student, every day" approach isn't just a tagline...it's how we build trust. This consistency allows: ✅Drivers to recognize behavioral patterns and adapt accordingly ✅Students to feel comfortable with familiar faces ✅Parents to have peace of mind knowing who's transporting their children ✅Schools to rely on predictable arrival and departure times When transportation is consistent, students arrive at school ready to learn rather than stressed from an unpredictable commute. As we continue to develop our complete K-12 transportation solution, we remain committed to our first priority: caring for students.
