SmartDRIVER for Transit

The SmartDRIVER program is a significant advancement in professional driving and raises the expectations of the term 'professional driver.' Defensive Driving incorporated elements about your driving, including the awareness of everything around you with the goal of avoiding incident, in spite of conditions, and/or the actions of others around you. Defensive Driver training enables operators to be models of professional driving in the community.

The SmartDRIVER program requires all of these skills and raises the bar once again. In addition to maintaining your knowledge and skills as a professional driver who is acutely aware of his/her surroundings, SmartDRIVER focuses on ' how ' you operate your vehicle efficiently. This course measures your driving habits with computers built into the bus -- the same ones that the mechanics use to diagnose a problem in the vehicle. There are many Indicators which give us feedback that have been linked by a team of trainers and transit curriculum experts to driving habits. These statistics, which we call performance indicators, will objectively show you and your trainer how you can improve your driving techniques to become a SmartDRIVER.
