ACTION bus service—school bus breakdown procedures
(Question No 83)

Mr Coe asked the Minister for Transport and City Services, upon notice, on 17 February 2017:

(1) What procedures should be followed when a bus transporting school students either breaks down or is involved in a traffic incident.

(3) What training is provided to drivers of school buses on the duty of care to students.

Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) ACTION staff involved in the management of an incident involving school services follows the processes outlined in the ‘Bus Accident’ section of the ACTION Incident Management Manual, which outlines instructions which include the following:

• dispatch Transport Officers to the scene;

• follow emergency services directions; and

• control passengers at site for safety.

(2) TCCS does not maintain a register of instances where procedures may not have been followed in connection with buses that have broken down or been involved in a traffic incident while carrying students. TCCS is presently undertaking a review of its policies, procedures, incident management procedures and safe operating procedures with a view to providing staff with greater operational clarity around the requirements of those policies and procedures.
