Driver Training
Dean Transportation provides extensive training for the driving staff. Each new driver receives a minimum of 30 hours of on-the-road training before being allowed to drive students. The State of Michigan also provides 18 hours of beginning bus driver class work for all new drivers to receive credentials.
Training covers many topics related to driving safety, child behavior management, and the health and well being of students. Also, each driver is required to attend a state offered six (6) hour training program every two years to maintain their credentials.
