Drivers, you are carrying precious cargo: 

• Drive carefully and conscientiously.
• Obey all traffic laws.
• Never talk on the phone (even on speaker) 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: 

• 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 flags, the driver is wearing a HopSkipDrive t-shirt, 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:

• Be warm and welcoming. 
• Show kindness and consideration. 
• Communicate pick-up and drop-offs promptly so parents have peace of mind.

Riders should always:
 

• Keep your hands to yourself.
• Speak kindly and courteously.
• Be nice to everyone in the car.
