POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES
Private Vehicles
We
will use private vehicles to transport people when a local
or long distance public transportation
carrier does not adequately serve either our departure or
arrival town in terms of such things as capacity, schedule,
location, or fares, or all schedules for all public transportation
carriers are full.
Private vehicles will be available at the transportation
staging point beginning at the staging time. Once your
bicycle and/or baggage
has been loaded you will be able to sit inside them
and wait to depart,
particularly if it is raining. This will also help the loading
process organized and moving quickly which will contribute
to a faster departure.
All private vehicles will depart
the transportation staging point at the same time and caravan
together. You will arrive at the same time as your bike
and baggage and you won't have to wait to receive them
back. The final thing we will do
before we depart is conduct a final head count by asking
all passengers their name and
checking it off against our master passenger list. We will
either
do this as each individual participant boards the vehicle
or once everyone is aboard. That way we make sure that no
one gets left behind and we don't have any
stowaways.
Charter School Bus
We will charter a private school bus
when our departure and arrival towns are only a couple hours
apart
and
there are enough passengers to justify doing so.
Charter Coach Busses
We
will charter a private coach bus when our departure and
arrival towns are more than a couple hours apart and there
are enough passengers to justify doing so.
Support Vehicles
We will use our existing support vehicles when
there are not enough
passengers
to
justify
chartering a private school bus or coach bus.
