At Chesapeake Charter, we are dedicated to implementing a range of measures and best practices to maintain the highest standards of passenger safety.

How We Prioritize Passenger Safety
Chesapeake Charter has safety rules and guidelines in place to ensure passenger safety during their journeys. These standards and regulations are designed to create a safe and comfortable travel environment for everyone on board. While specific rules may vary between companies, Chesapeake Charter is sharing some standard safety rules that passengers can and should expect from us:
1. Highly Trained Drivers
One of the most critical aspects of ensuring passenger safety is having skilled and experienced drivers behind the wheel. We rigorously screen and train drivers to meet strict safety standards. These professionals are experts in driving large vehicles and dealing with various road conditions and emergencies. Our drivers must keep all training and testing up-to-date, and our customers can view these credentials if requested.
2. Regular Vehicle Maintenance
Maintaining the fleet of buses and luxury vehicles is paramount to safety. We adhere to strict maintenance schedules, ensuring that their vehicles are in top-notch condition. Regular inspections, servicing, and repairs are conducted to prevent mechanical failures that could compromise passenger safety. In addition, we maintain all records on our buses and fleet that are available to our customers upon request.
3. Compliance with Safety Regulations
All transportation companies must comply with many safety regulations set forth by local, state, and federal authorities. These regulations cover driver qualifications, vehicle inspections, hours of service, and more. Companies that prioritize safety ensure that they stay updated with all the relevant regulations.
4. Modern Safety Technology
Advancements in technology have led to improved safety features in buses. Chesapeake Charter invests in vehicles equipped with modern safety technology, including anti-lock brakes, stability control systems, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control.
5. Emergency Preparedness
Preparing for emergencies is vital to ensuring passenger safety. We have well-defined emergency protocols and procedures. These include but are not limited to evacuation plans, first-aid kits on board, and communication systems to contact emergency services if needed.
6. Regular Safety Training
Safety is an ongoing process. At Chesapeake Charter, our staff remains well-trained in safety procedures. Drivers and other staff members participate in regular safety training sessions to stay updated on best practices and emergency response techniques.
7. Cleanliness and Sanitation
Maintaining cleanliness and sanitation in buses is important, especially in the context of health concerns such as COVID-19. We’ve adopted enhanced cleaning protocols, including disinfection of high-touch surfaces and providing hand sanitizers on board to protect passengers.
9. Passenger Education
Educating passengers about safety measures is also part of the equation. Chesapeake Charter provides passengers with safety information, including seatbelt usage instructions and emergency exits. This empowers passengers to take an active role in their safety.
