Session: CA Compliance with SB 247, New Bus Safety Laws With the passing of SB 247 (also known as the Lara Bill) a few years ago, many steps have been taken to enhance motorcoach safety for operators providing intrastate transportation in the state of California. A number of these safety/regulatory items have now reached their compliance date and are now in effect. Items such as passenger safety message, ambient emergency lighting, and other state-specific enhancements will be discussed. |

Session: Safety Director 101 This is another offering in a new series of sessions, specially designed for brand new fleet managers, safety directors, transportation professionals and even company owners. This session should help you understand the basics of what goes into a monitoring driver performance, compliance with the hours of service and how to conduct remedial driver training for your existing drivers.
