Under U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines, school bus drivers fall under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and are subject to federal drug and alcohol testing (i.e., pre-employment, random, post-accident, etc.). 2 The D.A.T.C.S. Compliance Department serves the regulatory needs for hundreds of schools and thousands of bus drivers. In fact, we have a special consortium dedicated to the schedule-sensitive needs of school bus drivers.
In many cases, D.A.T.C.S. serves schools by administering programs for both students and drivers, making the collection process convenient for both.
See DOT Compliance Services for more information.
