SCT drivers are thoroughly trained in emergency evacuation procedures in the event of an accident. Basic procedures include: following driver’s instructions, remaining calm, implementing an orderly evacuation of the vehicle if warranted, staying off the roadway in a safe location until further notification, not smoking near the vehicle and calling for emergency response if required.
Passengers are responsible for notifying the driver if they or another passenger are ill, injured, or in distress while on the vehicle.
Patrons are invited to join our email alert system and be notified of changes to their usual service.
