According to staff 1, children have recently been and are currently being picked up from public school using an Uber driver. Staff 1 stated that each day Uber is contacted to provide a driver with a large capacity vehicle in which the children will be transported from elementary school to the facility. Staff 1 stated that a current staff person rides with the Uber driver to pick up the children. a. The facility's Transportation of Children policy states in regard to the Qualifications for Drivers that "in addition to meeting general staff background check standards, any driver who transports children for any purpose should have a valid driver's license and a safe driving record for more than 5 years, with no crashes where a citation was issued, as evidenced by the state department of Motor Vehicles record. Staff 1 stated documentation of driver background checks, licenses and driving records are not obtained and that it is assumed that Uber has checked these credentials. 2. In addition, the facility's transportation policy as given to parents states that "The driver's license number and date of expiration, vehicle insurance information, and verification of current state vehicle inspection should be on file in the facility". a. Staff 1 verified that documentation of driver's licenses, insurance and vehicle information is not on file in the facility for the Uber drivers/vehicles.
Plan of Correction:
The facility responded with the following: As discussed with inspector, I was not aware that I'm suppose to obtain records for each Uber/Lyft driver I use. occasionally. Uber/Lyft.com shows all their drivers meet the stated requriement. I have updated my transportation policy to reflect the use of Uber/Lyft occassionally and staff will verify DL registration and insurance information each time.
