HopSkipRules are Simple and Effective

Drivers, you are carrying precious cargo

• Drive carefully and conscientiously.

• Obey all traffic laws.

• Never illegally talk or text at any time during the ride.

• Set your navigation BEFORE you depart from the pickup location.

• Always keep your eyes on the road.

• Do not leave a drop-off destination until the passenger is safely inside and they wave to indicate that he or she is ready for you to leave.

Riders, being safe is a big deal

• Please be ready to roll a couple minutes before your ride pick up time. Remember, CareDrivers will wait only up to 15 minutes past the scheduled pick up time.

• Stay in your seat, with your seatbelt on.

• Sit in the backseat if under the age of 13.

• No eating or drinking during a HopSkipDrive ride.

• No rough-housing, yelling, or distracting the driver.

• When you get to your destination, go directly to where you’re supposed to be.

Drivers, just think like a parent

• Avoid any situation that puts your passengers at risk.

• Always go to the scheduled destination.

• Do not drop a passenger off anywhere other than the pre-arranged destination.

Riders, put that brain to work

• Only get into the car if you see the HopSkipDrive decal, the driver is wearing orange HopSkipDrive apparel, and the driver confirms your password with you.

• Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe, tell your driver and parents right away.

Drivers should help passengers and their parents feel comfortable

• Show kindness and consideration.

• Communicate pick-up and drop-offs promptly so parents have peace of mind.
