What kind of adult supervision is there on the field?
Every NATS bus will have one bus driver and one bus assistant. Both of these supervisors will be in the field with the crew at all times. When the crew is working, they will see an adult supervisor approximately every 30 minutes. This level of accountability is important both for safety and behavioral issues. My supervisory staff is very carefully chosen. I do not place ads for these people, but use networking and references to make sure quality individuals are in place. Every bus driver must go through a screening process, which includes drug testing. In addition, every bus is equipped with a cell phone. I am in constant communication with the buses throughout the day, and emergency numbers are laminated onto cards for field personnel to carry with them at all times in the field.
