Northbrook transportation company ups safety measures to protect students

The safety of our children comes first. Now, more than ever, schools and families in our state have been laboring to ensure safety as students get back to school, and BriteLift has been at the forefront of that.

Local schools have trusted BriteLift to provide transportation for years. Serving individuals with varying needs, BriteLift vehicles are equipped to seat both ambulatory and wheelchair passengers. Accessible vans and buses are dispatched based on specific needs.

Safety Measures in Response to Pandemic

The locally owned and operated company has adapted to the coronavirus crisis by raising their standards in safety and sanitation. BriteLift continually strives to provide the safest option for school transportation with measures including supplying hand sanitizers and masks for both driver and customer, disinfecting all touchable surfaces after every ride and even introducing a plastic partitions into vehicles.

Safe & Certified Drivers

BriteLift emphasizes the importance of driver quality, requiring drivers to be held to the same standards required for school bus drivers by the Illinois Secretary of State. They are CPR Certified, first aid and defibrillator trained, plus school bus driver permitted. To ensure security, background checks and fingerprint clearance procedures are administered as are regular drug tests. They also frequently undergo state-standard classes and evaluations which require yearly recertification.

Experience

BriteLift works with Chicago schools to ensure students and those with special needs get access to safe transportation as needed, especially as special needs education programs continue during the pandemic, supporting the students that depend on them. And as schools open, BriteLift will continue to be a resource, with safety as a focus.

BriteLift Corporate Accounts allow schools to easily book and manage rides for students, families and faculty. For more information or to book a ride, you may contact BriteLift at 847-792-1212 or visit their website at britelift.com.
