Rules of Conduct

All riders are required to conduct themselves properly when riding a SCTS vehicle. Behavior that distracts the driver or annoys other passengers will not be tolerated. This behavior includes, but is not limited to:

Disturbing Behavior:

Passengers are expected to refrain from talking loudly or engaging in activities that may disrupt others.

Movement While in Motion:

For safety reasons, passengers should remain seated while the vehicle is in motion and only move when it's safe to do so.

Prohibited Substances:

Eating, drinking, smoking, or using chewing tobacco is not allowed on the vehicle.

Seat Belt Usage:

Both passengers and the driver are required to wear seat belts at all times while the vehicle is in motion.

Solicitation:

Any form of solicitation, including selling goods or services, is not permitted.

Trip Notification:

Passengers must inform SCTS if they no longer require a scheduled trip.

Respectful Conduct:

Passengers are expected to maintain appropriate behavior, refrain from offensive language or physical abuse towards others, including the driver.

Personal Hygiene:

Passengers are encouraged to maintain personal hygiene to ensure a comfortable environment for all riders. By adhering to these guidelines, SCTS aims to promote a pleasant and safe transportation experience for everyone onboard.

How It Works

Behavior such as that listed above may result in denial of service. When a rider violates any of these rules, the driver is to show the individual the rules and ask him/her to comply with them. Continued violation of the rules may result in denial of service.

Other safety infractions that will result in a denial of service include:

The parent(s) or guardian of a child weighing less than 50 pounds shall provide an approved child’s seat that can be secured with a conventional seat belt. No child under 50 pounds shall be transported without an approved child seat. Children or infants are never to be held in the lap of an adult while the vehicle is in motion.

Individuals known to have an infectious disease (such as tuberculosis, or childhood diseases such as chicken pox, etc.) or head lice shall be denied service until SCTS receives notification the disease has been rendered noninfectious.
