What is the purpose of the two-way radio system installed in most pupil transport vehicles?
Answer: To maintain real-time communication with dispatch for safety and routing updates
Two-way radios allow drivers to stay in contact with dispatch to report emergencies, request assistance, and receive routing changes.
A 7D driver is contacted by a parent asking for the home address of another student on the route. How should the driver respond?
Answer: Decline to share and direct the parent to the school office
Student information is protected under FERPA and school privacy policies; drivers must refer all such requests to school administration.
What should a 7D driver do when a student is picked up from an unscheduled address for the first time?
Answer: Require written or verified authorization from the school before accepting the change
Changes to student pick-up or drop-off locations must be authorized in writing or through official school channels before drivers act on them.
Which of the following is an example of a required written communication in a 7D driver's daily log?
Answer: Notation of any vehicle defects observed during pre-trip inspection
Pre-trip inspection defects must be recorded in the daily vehicle inspection report (DVIR) as required by FMCSA regulations.
When a student's authorized pick-up person is not recognized at a stop, what should the 7D driver do?
Answer: Retain the student on the vehicle and contact dispatch or the school for verification
Students may only be released to authorized individuals; unrecognized adults require school verification before the driver releases the child.
What type of log must a 7D driver maintain when transporting students with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs)?
Answer: A record of any transport-related accommodations or incidents specific to each IEP student
IEP students often have transport-specific accommodations that must be documented and followed, and any incidents must be recorded.
