In November 2014, industry partners gathered in Indianapolis for Protective’s annual Public Transportation Claims + Safety Seminar. During the two-day event, attendees heard from experts on a variety of topics geared toward improving their fleet operations. We also had a bus simulator on-site and provided live demonstrations of how they work and how they can be used as an effective driver training tool.

Anderson also outlined how fleets can increase the number of drivers recruited and decrease turnover through the utilization of an ongoing training program.

Jesus Villahermosa, Crisis Reality Training
This presentation addressed the personal safety issues that are on every bus and coach operator’s mind. What do I do if someone tries to attack me during the operation of my bus?

Villahermosa discussed these and other personal safety issues that will empower your drivers when responding to a crisis.
