Responsible Employers

Procurement is a term used to describe the process school districts use to find private companies that run school transportation. Procurement laws vary by state, and they are very powerful tools in helping to set the standards for our working conditions. We work at the state and local level to demand the procurement process promotes contractors who are safe, responsible, and good to employees.

Keeping Drivers & Their Passengers Safe

Too often we are put at risk because companies take dangerous shortcuts, to say nothing of the passengers we transport. Vehicles aren’t always maintained in safe, working condition. Drivers and monitors aren’t given proper training or enough information about the passengers in their care. We believe that the best way to improve our safety is to have a powerful voice through a Teamster contract.
