## Description

The Transportation and Safety Manager coordinates transportation and related health and safety operations across program sites. This role oversees schedules, records, vendors, supplies, emergency preparedness, and individualized safety planning; supervises assigned transportation staff; and supports compliance with Head Start and agency requirements.

**Key Responsibilities**

- Coordinate daily routes, schedules, seating charts, passenger logs, attendance records, field trips, service changes, and cancellations.
- Serve as the primary contact for the contracted transportation provider and address service or safety concerns promptly.
- Maintain child safety seats, emergency transportation backpacks, required rescue-medication procedures, and transportation supply inventories.
- Develop individualized transportation safety plans with the Director of Health and Safety, families, and relevant departments.
- Schedule and document emergency bus evacuation drills at least three times per year and ensure required logs and safety checks are completed.
- Supervise the Bus Monitor and other assigned staff, including scheduling, onboarding, coaching, training, and performance feedback.
- Audit health data and follow-up needs; maintain accurate health and transportation records, health care plans, and consent forms in GoEngage.
- Prepare family follow-up communications, track screening equipment service dates, order health supplies, and support wellness initiatives and department training.

**Qualifications**

- Associate degree in health services, early childhood education, human services, business administration, transportation operations, or a related field; equivalent relevant education and experience may be considered.
- At least two years of related experience in health, safety, transportation, early childhood, or human-services operations.
- Prior supervisory experience and the ability to coordinate staff, schedules, and workflows.
- Current First Aid and CPR certification—or the ability to obtain certification within the required time frame.
- Strong organization, record keeping, data-audit, communication, and follow-through skills.
- Proficiency with electronic record keeping systems, email, spreadsheets, and standard office applications.
- Ability to complete required background checks, health requirements, and job-related training; valid driver’s license and satisfactory driving record if driving is assigned.

**Preferred**

- Experience in Head Start or another early childhood program.
- Training or certification in child passenger safety, medication administration, blood pressure measurement, or school transportation safety.

**What Success Looks Like**

You are reliable, safety-minded, detail-oriented, and comfortable balancing people leadership with hands-on operations. You communicate clearly, build respectful relationships with staff and families, maintain accurate records, and act quickly when concerns arise.

**Physical Requirements**

The role includes light to moderate physical activity, transportation safety checks, emergency drills, child safety-seat installation, routine lifting of supplies, workstation use, and travel between program and transportation settings.
