What is the last thing that a driver should do at the end of their route?

  1. Check for sleeping children

  2. Cancel their child check mate

  3. Perform a post-trip inspection

  4. Finish their paperwork and turn it in at the end of their tour of duty

The correct answer is: Perform a post-trip inspection

The correct answer emphasizes the importance of performing a post-trip inspection at the end of a route. This procedure ensures that the bus is in proper working condition and identifies any maintenance issues that may need attention before the next run. It also allows the driver to check for any items left on the bus, such as student belongings, which could help prevent unnecessary distress for both the students and their families. Conducting a thorough post-trip inspection establishes a safety protocol that protects both the driver and the passengers. It is a fundamental part of a driver’s responsibility, as it directly impacts the overall safety of school transportation. Other activities, while important, are secondary to ensuring the vehicle is in safe condition and that the environment remains secure for students.
