Transportation

Transportation Services oversees a fleet of 40 vehicles that CES owns and operates to provide specialized student transportation to member and non-member districts. Each year, CES vehicles travel more than 520,000 miles carrying students to and from school on a daily basis, as well as field trips and other school activities. CES also has a contract with Norwalk Transit District to operate eight CES-owned specialized vehicles to transport elderly and disabled individuals.

CES has an aggressive preventative maintenance program whereby each vehicle is inspected and serviced on a regular 90 day schedule as well as inspections by drivers before and after each trip. CES follows Connecticut and Department of Transportation rules requiring every driver to have a pre-employment drug test and random drug and alcohol tests throughout employment. All CES transportation vehicles are equipped with GPS and two-way radios allowing continuous communication with, and monitoring by, dispatchers.
