The bus drivers
They are over 11,000 to travel a million kilometers and carry close to 600,000 schoolchildren every day, across the province.
Driving a school bus requires specific skills. As the primary stakeholders with students, school bus drivers must be licensed and qualified to drive a school vehicle. Among others, they must:
- completed 15 hours of training to receive the mandatory certificate of competency for school bus drivers;
- prove that they have no criminal record associated with the school bus driver occupation.
The driver has many responsibilities in addition to doing several runs a day with a vehicle full of schoolchildren. He/she must:
- carry out the pre-departure inspection;
- ensure passenger safety both inside and outside the bus;
- keep discipline;
- comply with a route and schedule predetermined by the school board.
Beyond these basic regulatory requirements, to drive a school bus, it is imperative to:
- love children;
- give priority to passenger safety;
- have a passion for driving road vehicles;
- know the laws and regulations pertaining to driving this type of vehicle and, more specifically, the Highway Safety Code;
- want to contribute to young people's future and be involved in the community.
