Howard Peterson (right) meets with local school bus drivers. Peterson rides with each bus driver over their route to check for possible safety hazards and each driver's ability to drive. School Bus Drivers Trained Activity trips in our area are usually of such length that two drivers are assigned so that an alert and rested driver is at the wheel at all times. Iron County bus drivers have established an enviable safety record over the years. Efforts are constantly made to continue to upgrade the transportatioon department contribution to the education of Iron School pupils. Howard Peterson, transportation tran-sportation director conducts a regular check on driving skills with each bus driver. Mr. Peterson rides with the bus driver over the driver's assigned route checking on route safety hazards, driving conditions, and any driving deficiencies that may need to be improved. All drivers attend a driving school conducted by the Utah State Board of Education. There they learn the rules of the road, drive a course set up for busses, and learn some basic rules for student behavior while being transported to and from school. |
