Passenger vehicles come with a unique set of challenges. Drivers of these vehicles deal with frequent stops, strict time constraints and unpredictable pedestrians. They have the added stress of protecting their employers’ brand by ensuring that all passengers have a positive experience. The Smith System methodology can help your drivers get their passengers where they need to be — safely and on time.
“Not only have we seen benefits in retention of the 5 Keys, but we are also witnessing better driving habits and improved handling of the buses. Smith System training has also allowed us to diagnose each driver’s strengths and weaknesses while behind the wheel. We are also enjoying the benefit of improved fuel mileage.”

Learn MoreParking. Driving in tight spaces. Backing up. These are among the most challenging maneuvers for drivers of passenger vehicles to get right. In fact, backing crashes represent 30% to 60% of the total crashes for most fleets. That’s why we devote an entire day to these tasks in our Advanced Backing course, which includes reversing, parking and close-quarter maneuvering.
