For FY 2007-08, a new PPS Recruitment and Training Program was implemented. The program includes the following components: • Driver Trainee Education Program structured to recruit individuals as Recreation Aides that meet the PPS core competencies, but lack a Class B Passenger Endorsement license. A 12 week training and testing period began in January 2008, with three (3) applicants participating in the Driver Trainee Education Program. Through this program, the City hopes to maintain a qualified pool of Paratransit Drivers. • On-going Class B Driver Education to include One-on-One Audits of existing drivers/dispatchers to begin in Spring 2008, and twice-yearly Defensive Driving In-Class Training, with the first course offering completed in October 2007. • As needed, One-On-One Defensive Driving Refresher Training for drivers/dispatchers involved in a preventable accident. • Behind-The-Wheel Driver assessment for qualified applicants in full time driver/dispatcher recruitments.
