Government Transportation Services

The Driver Provider, is aligned with multiple Government-Sector Specific, which are listed below.
1. General Federal & State Compliance
The Driver Provider operates under the strict oversight of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) and respective State Departments of Transportation (DOT).
Their compliance includes:
DOT Safety Ratings: They must maintain a satisfactory safety rating, which involves regular audits of
vehicle maintenance logs, driver hours of service (HOS), and roadside inspection records.

FMCSA Clearinghouse: All drivers are subject to the federal Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse, requiring pre-
employment and random testing.
Vehicle Standards: Their fleet (from sedans to motorcoaches) must meet 49 CFR Part 571 (Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards), which covers everything from seating and emergency exits to braking
systems.
2. Government-Sector Specifics
The Driver Provider explicitly lists “Government Transportation” as a specialized service line on their
commercial profile. In the context of government contracting, this typically implies:
To provide services directly to federal agencies, a company must be registered in the System for Award
Management (SAM).
Insurance Minimums: Government contracts often require higher liability limits (often $5 million to $10
million or more for motorcoaches), which professional carriers like The Driver Provider maintain as
standard for their university and corporate accounts.
ADA Compliance: As a provider of “Government Transportation,” their larger shuttle and motorcoach fleet
must adhere to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for paratransit and lift-equipped access.
3. Driver Certifications
For government and school contracts, drivers typically hold:
Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDL): With Passenger (P) endorsements.
ELDT Compliance: As of 2022, all new drivers must meet the Entry-Level Driver Training federal
standards.
Background Checks: Standard for their “School Transportation” and “Government” service lines, which
often involve state-level fingerprinting and FBI background clearances.
Airport Credentials: We require our employees to maintain TSA airport clearance which is an additional
background check and fingerprint clearance at the airport. The TSA check is renewed every 2 years.
