Transportation Safety

Safety when transporting children requires extensive planning, preparation, and training, as reflected in the new Head Start transportation regulations. Childcare providers should have written policies and procedures regarding issues such as when, why, and how children are transported; transportation regulations and recommendations; authorization; supervision of children; driver qualifications; and vehicle safety and maintenance. Staff and volunteers who monitor children and assist with transportation need training on safety issues such as loading/unloading the vehicle, buckling-up, adult supervision, and preparation for emergencies.
