TransNet is committed to the highest degree of risk management for all our riders and the communities we serve. To attain this goal, we have a Risk Management Committee, which consists of three carrier members, one driver, one representative from a senior citizen agency, one representative from an MR provider, two representatives from our insurance carrier, and TransNet's Risk Manager and Risk Management Coordinator. The committee meets on a monthly basis to:
All vehicles are maintained according to the TransNet required vehicle maintenance schedule. TransNet's Risk Manager and staff from an independent fleet service company randomly inspect vehicles at each carrier site to insure compliance with these procedures. Vehicles with deficiencies are taken off the road immediately until the necessary repairs are completed.
TransNet's Risk Manager conducts monthly visits to various service locations to verify each driver's compliance with TransNet's Passenger Assistance Policy and other safety practices. Drivers must also employ proper wheelchair securement and wheelchair lift operation.
