1. Seat belts will be worn at all times while riding the bus. The rider must be able to belt themselves, or have the assistance of an aide. 2. Once the passenger is in his/her seat, they are to remain in that seat until he/she has arrived at the designated location. 3. Riders must follow posted signs and the instructions of the driver for the safety of themselves and others. 4. SWITA drivers do not act as personal care attendants (PCA). If rider has a health condition(s) that requires continuous monitoring they will need to be assisted by a PCA. All PCA’s ride free of charge on SWITA. 5. SWITA is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Any items turned in to SWITA and not claimed are retained for a short period of time and then donated or disposed of. 6. No violence, rude behavior, stealing, littering, vandalism, horseplay, foul language, or bullying will be tolerated. The driver may issue a verbal warning, specify assigned seating, and/or refer the incident to the SWITA office. SWITA reserves the right to suspend the riding privileges of any rider not following these rules and regulations. Severe or repeated violations may result in revocation of riding privileges. Video recordings are utilized in SWITA vehicles. 7. In order to ride the first week of school, registrations must be submitted by August 14, 2023. Registrations after that date will not be able to ride until the second week of school. Once school is underway, new registrations must be received at least 3 business days before the rider begins riding. This allows us to build and maintain bus schedules. 8. Changes to a regular schedule or pickup/drop off locations must be made two business days prior to the change taking effect. Emergency changes or riders not riding due to illness, etc. must be called into the office as soon as possible. It is the responsibility of the rider/guardian to notify the school if applicable of any changes. 9. Alternate pick up and drop off arrangements for your passenger will be used in emergency situations only. Calling in multiple times during the week to change the pickup and drop off location changes the route and affects our other passengers’ pick up and drop off times. 10. Riders are responsible for being on time. A rider not riding without contacting the office first is considered a no-show. After three no-shows, SWITA will charge the account for a ride and will discontinue stopping until notified by the guardian. Remember our buses are on very tight schedules and not able to wait for children who are not ready. The bus waits about 1 minute per stop. 11. All rides must be pre-paid. It is the guardian’s responsibility to keep track of how many rides you prepaid for. If you provide an email address, we will notify you if your rider’s account is low or out of rides. A negative balance will result in rides being suspended until payment is received in the office. You may call the office at 712-243-2518 to find out how many rides are available. 12. SWITA requires a minimum payment of $30 per rider to begin service. Any balances left over at the end of service are refunded. Ridership to Head Start programs are covered by Head Start, so although registration is required, no payment is necessary for Head Start.
