A Bus Monitor acts as the main point of contact and support for riders, such as parents, guardians, teachers and school administrators. The Bus Monitor oversees communication and passenger monitoring from the driver, enhancing overall safety on the road while adding a level of support for riders that isn’t possible with just a driver. A Bus Monitor also ensures that all passengers follow bus safety rules, like remaining seated and keeping aisles clear. They may address instances of misbehavior or rule-breaking, including mediating disputes between students, to maintain a safe environment. A Bus Monitor typically helps to keep the bus clean by picking up trash and encouraging students to keep their areas clean.
