route change process
The process for making emergency changes to routes is as follows:
- Uzabus identifies a driver shortage and decides which emergency route plan will be activated.
- Uzabus contacts Greig to advise the activation, Greig updates this page
- Greig sends an email to the Operations group announcing the change.
- Greig sends a text message to affected principals.
- School personnel communicate with their community as previously decided.
- The change remains in effect until further notice – no further communications will occur until the normal route/s are reactivated.
