With the begin of the university year 2020/2021 simply a few weeks away, RoadSafetyUAE's CSR-Partner STS School Transportation Services established a holistic safety and security procedure that includes reliable COVID-19 relevant protection actions besides existing common school bus safety aspects.

" STS means School Transport Services, yet we refer to these letters as 'Safe-Timely-Smart' to bring our goal and also core values to life. In these challenging times, there is a renewed focus on the safety facet of our procedures, as well as we have added a thorough list of COVID-19 related safety and security needs for our pupil college bus solutions.

The new protocol, which is in line with the relevant authorities' demands addresses pupils, our buses, our drivers and bus
guardians and our entire fleet operation. We ensure that every one of our people are well-advised and familiar with the new situation as well as the latest safety and security procedures.

We have the responsibility for over 80,000 Students that we transfer daily in our fleet of 2,500 buses. These brand-new methods are crucial to our safety and security dedication and to ensure the whole education and learning community that the institution bus is the best method to take a trip to and from school.", states Steve Burnell, Managing Director of STS.

"The safety protocol includes pre-trip bus sanitisation, the social distancing of students before boarding, face mask mandate, personal hygiene, temperature checks, smart bus ID-card scanning, monitoring student welfare, social distancing and signage on-board, seat belt mandate, social distancing upon de-boarding and post-trip bus sanitisation., he continues.

Thomas Edelmann, Founder & Managing Director of RoadSafetyUAE describes: "We love working with STS, as they bring their campaigns to life in such a specialized and also imaginative way. We regard STS as the leader in the school bus industry and we applaud them for adapting to the new normal in school bus transportation in such an exemplary manner. COVID-19 brings a lot of change to society and certainly, parents want to have the extra reassurance that their children are being transported in the safest way there is!

STS and RoadSafetyUAE have been collaborating in the past years to collectively advertise school bus safety through different campaigns straight at schools, advertising the STS 'Smart School Bus', a prized programme in collaboration with RTA, joint speeches at occasions, and a lot more.
