School districts have entrusted CTS with the responsibility of managing student transportation for children with special needs since 1997.
CTS employees and transportation providers are committed to meeting the unique and specific transportation needs of children and youth who are living with disabilities or are in homeless situations by helping them experience the educational stability needed to attain their life goals.
Transportation management services to schedule out-of-district trips arranged by CTS are tailored to meet the individual needs of each student.
Ongoing communication between CTS, staff at the Board of Education, transportation providers, parents and students assures that our services stand out.
OUR MODEL
We believe our model, which includes transparency and open communication, working together with you, the students, their families and caregivers and our credentialed and contracted transportation providers results in seamless trips that support students realizing their potential. CTS’ number one priority is the safety of students and the safeguarding and security of confidential student data.
Students, their families, and their school can rest easy knowing that CTS manages all aspects of the transportation, start to finish. CTS coordinates professional transportation services for individuals on Medicaid and Medicare, including dual-eligible, low-income, older adults and persons with disabilities.
Technology & Training
Through its use of technology, CTS provides a variety of services that deliver peace of mind to students, their families and caregivers.
real-time GPS vehicle tracking
Offered to our customers, empowering students and their families with the information required to have a better and more comfortable ride experience.
Driver App
Any vehicle whose driver is using the app can be seen by student families, school officials and CTS personnel and users can view the location of the vehicle that is picking them up, along with the ETA.
Detailed trip reporting
Title I Reporting is also available to student families and school personnel upon request.
People enrolled in special education programs must have access to those services. Since 2000, we have offered specialized transportation services and facility/hospital-based transportation programs to meet their needs. We work with a network of providers that are specialized in transportation, mitigate any risk, and make sure that the drivers are properly licensed.
Transportation management services to schedule out-of-district trips arranged by CTS are tailored to meet the individual needs of each student. Ongoing communication between CTS, staff at the Board of Education, transportation providers, parents and students assures that our services stand out. The American Academy of Pediatrics encourages states to address and support the transportation requirements of children with special needs. Pediatricians can help their patients by being aware of general guidelines for evaluating various systems for children with special needs and remaining informed of new resources as they become available.
