Safety & Technology
Constant vigilance and determined commitment to achieve the highest status of safety is not only a practice, it is our second nature.
Our ongoing Safety Procedures include:
- The close monitoring and analysis of all incidents in our system.
- Weekly Safety Management Meeting to review the history of risk management incidents.
- Monthly Safety Staff Meetings to review all safety related information and minimize Risk Management incidents.
- The study of incident trends to monitor areas that need further development of Safety Policies & Procedures.
At Global Paratransit, our highest priority is the safety of our riders and staff. The strict implementation of safety principles and procedures isn’t only engrained in written rules, it is a way of life practiced constantly in our day to day operations by every employee.
Rising above safety standards is an ongoing process that requires an all hands on deck effort at all times. We take great pride in knowing that each GPI employee makes safe operations their personal responsibility.
Our Safety Culture
Employee Incentive Program:
GPI promotes a program designed to record and reward our drivers on safety-related performances. This program focuses mainly on honoring our drivers that reach a certain number of miles without a preventable accident.
Drivers Safety Classes:
This program assists our drivers in responding to incidents and preparing proper documentation of said incident. This program is devised to further increase awareness and to remind our drivers that safe operations require diligence, dedication and reinforcement on a consistent basis.
Vehicle Safety Program:
Aside from the technological advancements added to our transit vehicles for our riders’ safety, Global Paratransit has outfitted our vehicles with decals. These decals are intended to warn other drivers that GPI vehicles stop, or are prone to frequent stops to accommodate our passengers.
