Consequences of Misconduct

The behaviors outlined previously will not be tolerated on ART service. Bus Operators and/or Management will take direct and fitting action in response to misconduct.

• Conduct that is deemed illegal/hazardous/violent will be addressed immediately, to include assistance from the appropriate security personnel and/or police department
• If one individual is inhibiting the atmosphere for the majority of the passengers, that person will be asked to cease the behavior causing the disturbance
• If the behavior continues and the Bus Operator feels that the passenger has been given sufficient warning, the Bus Operator then has the right to ask the passenger to leave the bus after first consulting with the Transportation Supervisor. If the passenger does not leave the bus after being asked by the Bus Operator, the Bus Operator should then notify the Transportation Supervisor of the situation so they can either respond on-site to provide additional assistance and/or notify the proper authorities to provide further assistance
