Safety Updates

We have been provid- ing safety updates for several months. Our goal is to inform our customers of all the efforts we have un- dertaken to ensure we provide SAFE transportation on our ferries and buses. This month we have added new fire extin- guishers to the Is- lander and the barge which are designed to extinguish fire in closed spaces (engine room). The extin- guishers use non- toxic chemicals to quickly kill the fire. We have begun the process of having all employees who work on the barge com- plete a hazardous material training program. This pro- gram is required by law. Captain Matt has completed the course and other em- ployees will follow in the near future. In our Safety meeting we decided to imple- ment wearing high visibility vests while barging and are in the process of imple- menting a “lock out/tag out” program. e have been provid- ing safety updates for several months.

The good weather seems to have finally arrived, and so have many of our seasonal residents. Welcome back! During the spring we have lots of freight as folks prepare for the summer. When you have a large number of freight items, please consider delivering them to the wharf in your own vehicle and then returning to Route One. Several people now have personal carts that they take to Route One. Please understand that the bus driver may ask you to unload your cart to load pack- ages on the bus. The drivers are not expected to lift very heavy objects and carts take up a lot of space in the rear of the bus. e good eat er see s to ave fi ally arrived, a d so ave a y of o r seaso al reside ts.

Bus drivers are expected to leave the lot on schedule. The driver uses his/her discretion regarding waiting for a vehicle. However, if the bus is loaded with passengers and freight you should not expect the driver to delay departure. We seem to have a lot of pets riding the bus these days. Please remember to keep your pet off the seats and have dogs leashed. At the wharf, please stand back from the ramp and along the sides of the wharf to allow dis- embarking passengers room to get by.
