Special needs transport presents unique challenges to school districts. These students may be more sensitive to the rough ride that a bus provides. Bus attendants who assist with the loading and unloading of these students have a physically demanding job on top of the ride comfort issues.
Retaining drivers and attendants continue to be among the biggest challenges facing school bus fleet operations today. And while increased pay and time off, and shorter routes are some of the options that have worked to retain them—there are also technological options that, working in concert with other retention approaches, can help fleets fight the shortage.
On June 18th at 11:00 AM PT/2:00 PM ET, attendees will learn how active suspension technology is one of these technological answers to improve special needs transport and increase retention by:
In addition, attendees will learn how this technology not only improves the ability of fleets to retain their drivers but also improve the operational bottom lines through reduced maintenance costs and improved passenger comfort.
