What is a drivers aide?

Drivers Aides are support personnel who assist drivers, typically in transportation settings such as school buses, public transit, or paratransit services. Their main responsibilities include helping passengers board and exit vehicles safely, ensuring passenger safety during transit, and assisting with special needs or mobility devices as required. Drivers Aides may also help maintain order, communicate with the driver about any issues on board, and provide general assistance to ensure a smooth and safe ride for all passengers.
