Safety

Our drivers are the heart of our operation. At Krise, every driver receives in-depth training and is assessed for character as well as competence, resulting in an exceptionally dedicated team.

Our comprehensive training program covers rules, regulations, and recommendations set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Pennsylvania Department of Education, and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Standards.

A key component of our program includes CDL training for new drivers, a valuable skill set our team members are eager to achieve. It’s one of the first steps in our ongoing investment in Krise employees, and one that benefits all of us: our drivers, school district partners, students, their families, and the communities we serve.

Krise conducts regular safety meetings on various training topics, often inviting outside speakers to present. These are paid activities for our employees, and to encourage full participation, attendance at these meetings is a component of our team members’ safety and attendance bonuses.

All of our drivers complete periodic training updates, required every four years as part of PennDOT’s mandated recertification training.

In addition to mandated recertification training, we require all drivers to complete driving evaluations every other year, after all preventable accidents, and as deemed necessary by management.

We pride ourselves on the mutual trust shared among our team members at every level. Our company culture empowers employees to ask questions, make suggestions, and offer meaningful feedback, allowing us to build better student transportation programs over time.

This mutual trust also helps create a culture of accountability. Krise employees hold themselves and each other to high standards, delivering on their daily promise to provide safe, reliable access to education. It’s a mission-driven mindset that encourages every Krise team member to adhere to safer work practices.
