MI MISSION STATEMENT

New York’s School Bus Driver Master Instructors pledge to always carry out their instructor duties in a highly professional manner, understanding that their attitude concerning proper school bus safety training is critical to providing safe school transportation to the children of New York.

Master Instructors realize that their performance in training sessions serves as an example to those who are being trained. If a professional example is demonstrated while training school bus driver instructors, those instructors will be more likely to also demonstrate a professional example while training school bus drivers. Professionally trained and qualified school bus drivers will be in a better position to transport New York’s children to and from school and school activities in a more enhanced safety environment. Our services directly affect the 4,000,000 children of New York who daily ride school buses to and from school and school activities. We are here, “for the children.”

A Master Instructor will always strive to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of school transportation and to communicate this understanding with all members of New York’s school transportation safety team (especially fellow Master Instructors and School Bus Driver Instructors) to the extent that all are capable of becoming more knowledgeable of school transportation safety. Master Instructors strive to insure that others are capable of transferring this knowledge to those who are less knowledgeable and understanding of school transportation safety issues with the purpose of enhancing school transportation safety through the “networking” of school transportation safety issues.
