Passengers should not distract the driver and must not leave the vehicle until the driver indicates it is safe to do so. Drivers will wait until riders are safely in the building. Passengers are not allowed to be standing or walking around the Bus when it is in motion.

SERVICE ANIMALS Le Bus recognizes under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that service animals are not pets, but rather, perform vital functions which result in more independence for persons with disabilities. Accordingly, Le Bus has implemented the following policies regarding service animals. Le Bus recognizes the need for service animals. The definition of a service animal is any animal that has been individually trained to perform a specific task for a disabled person. All service animals will be allowed to ride. All service animals must be either held by the passenger or put between their feet. The service animal may not block an aisle. Service animals may not occupy a passenger seat. The service animal may not bite, or otherwise disturb other passengers. It is the service animal owner’s responsibility to clean up after the service animal, should the service animal throw-up or defecate on the bus. If the service animal does become unruly, or disturb other passengers, the Bus Operator will request that the owner of the service animal control the animal. If the owner is unwilling or unable to control the service animal, the Bus Operator will call dispatch, and they will call the appropriate agency to have the service animal removed from the bus.

ILL PASSENGERS Should a person become ill on the bus or demonstrate other behavior or actions posing a potential medical emergency, Bus Operators are to do as follows:

  • Assess the situation – look for signs that medical attention may be warranted. The Bus Operator may safely pull the bus to the side of the road to ask the person if they need medical attention. If the Bus Operator finds that immediate medical attention is needed, they are to contact dispatch or the on-duty supervisor and advise them of the situation and their location and to have them call 911.

Should emergency services be needed, the Bus Operator is to wait patiently for the emergency medical staff to take the person off the bus before proceeding. Once the ill passenger is off the bus, the Bus Operator is to then contact dispatch or the on-duty supervisor for further instruction.

Bus Operators are to complete an incident report within the given time frame.

INTOXICATED PASSENGERS Bus Operators have the option to transport passengers who are under the influence of medication, alcohol or who appear to be in an altered state if they abide by the Le Bus rules of passenger conduct. If the passenger is accepted to ride the bus and becomes belligerent or non-responsive, the Bus Operator is to safely pull the bus to the side of the road and contact dispatch or the on-duty supervisor for further instructions. Bus Operators are to complete an incident report within the given time frame.

BODILY FLUIDS Stool, blood and other bodily fluids may contain pathogens or harbor disease potentially posing a health hazard for other passengers and the coach operator. Operators are to make efforts to assess these risks prior to boarding passenger(s). Should a bus operator observe any signs of stool, blood, or other bodily fluids prior to a passenger boarding that operator may deny that passenger a ride due to health hazard(s). If a passenger releases stool, blood or other bodily fluids after being boarded, the driver is to assess the situation, instruct other passengers to stay away from the health hazard and contact the on-duty supervisor. The on-duty supervisor will either send maintenance to clean the biohazard or deliver another bus. Any cost of these services will be billed to the group and/or the passenger.

LOST AND FOUND Lost and found articles accumulated from the Le Bus buses will be given to Operations. Le Bus is not responsible for any lost or stolen items. Le Bus will keep any current lost and found for 14 days, after this time it will be donated to a local charity.

Passengers using portable oxygen breathing aids Passengers should inform the scheduler at time of reservation that a portable oxygen breathing aid will be transported with the passenger.

Drivers will be aware of the features and problems associated with portable oxygen aids. All drivers will receive training on the features of portable oxygen tanks during new hire training. Specific procedures will be available as necessary. The following general procedures will apply to most portable oxygen aids:

  • Drivers will secure all oxygen containers during transportation by the most secure means available.
  • Containers commonly secured to a mobility device may stay in those securements.
  • Containers attached to mobility aids such as walkers must be separately secured to the vehicle by the most secure means available.
  • Spare tanks must be secured to the vehicle by the most secure means available.

Passengers are to be advised by dispatch of the estimated length of the trip and the time that the passenger is expected to be on the vehicle. This may impact the quantity of oxygen the passenger requires.

Drivers are not permitted to connect hoses, disconnect hoses, or change oxygen tanks.

Wheelchair & Other Mobility Devices Securement: All passengers using wheelchairs and other mobility devices will need to call Le Bus 1 month prior to the date that they would like to ride the bus, to secure an ADA bus based on availability. Wheelchairs and other mobility devices will be secured using a four-point tie-down system. Le Bus cannot deny service to any passenger if the wheelchair or mobility device cannot be secured to the satisfaction of the driver. When a wheelchair or mobility device is difficult to secure properly, the driver is expected to make every effort at securing before requesting that the passenger transfer to a regular seat. The driver may request the passenger transfer to a regular seat but will not be permitted to require the passenger transfer if proper securement is not possible. Unoccupied wheelchairs (when the passenger has transferred to a seat) must be tied down securely. Electric wheelchairs must have the power turned off while secured. Always inform dispatch when you are loading a wheelchair passenger.

Immediately report any malfunctions with lift equipment to dispatch so that repairs can be schedule as soon as possible.
