Mandatory Safety Program Training
As required under Public Act 095- 0501, all providers of non-emergency medi-car and service car transportation must certify that all drivers and employee attendants have completed a safety program approved by the department, prior to transporting participants of the department’s Medical Programs. The safety training certification is required every three years. It is the provider’s responsibility to re-certify. Medicar and service car providers must maintain documentation of their driver and employee attendant certifications. Failure to produce the documentation upon request from the department shall result in recovery of all payments made by the department for services rendered by a noncertified driver or attendant. For more information see Section 201.1 of Illinois T-200 Transportation Handbook (link above.)
Training providers: Please note that while making sure the information on trainers for this legal requirement is available, First Transit does not endorse any training class, training company, or individual trainer.
