• If the hazard is noted by the driver, he/she must call the dispatcher, describe the situation, and await further instruction. • If the hazard is noted by staff other than the driver (e.g., the dispatcher becomes aware that a tomado is approaching), the dispatcher will contact the driver and provide direction. Direction may be as follows: • To abort the route, and drive the passengers to the nearest emergency drop point (see policy on emergency drop points) • To abort the route and return to the agency (particularly if there are no passengers on the vehicle) • To drop off some or all passengers at the next stops and to then abort the route, following the instructions of the dispatcher (returning to the agency or using an emergency drop point) With most hazards or emergencies, it is the primary policy of Cabarrus County Transportation Service that the driver, first, communicates with the dispatcher, describes the situation, and awaits instruction. The exception to this is in the case of an immediate life threatening situation when the driver acts first, then communicates. Policies are in place for a range of situations. 3.2c. — TRANSIT FACILITY SAFETY AND SECURITY REVIEW Cabarrus County Transportation Service assesses on an ongoing basis the system's physical and procedural security systems and exposures. Findings from past and current threat and vulnerability assessments are of particular significance. The conditions affecting facility security change constantly. Employees come and go, a facility's contents and layout may change, various threats wax and wane, and operations may vary. Even such mundane changes as significant growth of bushes or trees around a facility's exterior may affect security by shielding the view of potential intruders. Cabarrus County Transportation Service reviews our security measures periodically, as well as whenever facilities or other conditions change significantly. Cabarrus County Transportation Service also does the following: updates risk assessments and site surveys; reviews the level of employee and contractor compliance with security procedures; considers whether those procedures need modification; and Establishes ongoing testing and maintenance of security systems including access control, intrusion detection and video surveillance. Special attention is given by Cabarrus County Transportation Service to: • developing and refining security plans • encouraging personnel to maintain heightened awareness of suspicious activity • providing special attention to perimeter security and access control Attachment number 5 \n F-5 Page 333
