Route Adjustments. Bus drivers must run the route as described on the MDT or T.R.I.P. generated route sheet. Route adjustment changes are to be implemented as indicated by the Department of Business and Transportation Services. The Contractor has the discretion to make an adjustment without pre-approval of the Department of Business and Transportation Services for reasons of safety and restricted access; however, Contractor must notify the Department of Business and Transportation Services of the changes within 24 hours. The Contractor may submit a request to adjust the stop or-times on a route for any other purpose but must receive authorization from the Department of Business and Transportation Service before implementing the changes. MPS remains responsible for designating stop locations. Route Adjustment Requests may be submitted electronically or via appropriate form. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to check both methods. Contractors must schedule a daily pickup from the Department of Business and Transportation Services at MPS Administration Building.
Route Adjustments. Bus routes shall be bid as posted. Routes may be adjusted and 33 buses may be reassigned by Transportation administration or designee after bidding is 34 completed. Paid Route Time and Mileage (RTM) reduced during the first two pay periods 35 of the student year will not take effect until the third pay period. Thereafter, reductions in 36 paid time will only occur on the basis of every other pay period. If there is a necessary 37 reduction in the RTM, (in between the actionable pay periods), the reduced time will be 38 made up by the employee serving standby time to perform transportation-related duties. If 39 the bus employee chooses to waive the standby time the reduction in paid time will take 40 place immediately.
Route Adjustments. Bus routes shall be bid as posted. Routes may be adjusted and buses 21 may be reassigned by Transportation administration or designee after bidding is completed.
Route Adjustments. On occasion it may be necessary in the interest of efficient operations for the Employer to schedule a hybrid run serving both special education and regular education students and/or taking runs together, the aggregate running time of which may or may not exceed the two (2) hour minimum paid run time for the driver's base run. In such instances, any contractual provision to the contrary notwithstanding, the Union agrees that the Employer may schedule such hybrid or tacked runs, provided, however, that a driver will be paid for actual run time at his/her regular hourly rate plus an amount equivalent to one-half (1/2) of the actual non-driving time within the two (2) hour minimum paid run time for the driver's base run, but not less than twenty (20) minutes.
Route Adjustments. 1. Adjustments will be made during the first four (4) weeks of the school year to arrive at regular route times.
2. Routes that are selected at the beginning of the year (on route selection/bid day) will remain that driver’s route. The following conditions will apply:
a. Any adjustments made to any route, after four (4) weeks, will be done with consideration given to the first available driver with the most seniority. For example, a driver with two (2) runs (either a first and second, or a second and third combination) who holds the most seniority, will receive that addition without losing the “finished” route. (A now combined package of three (3) routes/runs.)
b. Where this would be an impossibility, due to geographics, time constraints, school locations, or a situation where students could not be transported to and from school in a timely fashion, the addition would then go to then next Employee with the most seniority to be available with the needed time slot open in their current route, for such an addition.
c. There will be no posting of the “finished” run.
d. Every effort will be made by Management to make the addition available to the first available driver (one with an open time slot) with the most seniority. This does not mean the shifting around of a route that already contains three (3) runs in it to see if the available addition could be added to that route.
e. This will eliminate the ongoing problem of creating a “second bump/bid day” when he/she selected a particular route at the beginning of the school year, by following the required procedure.

Route Adjustments. On occasion it may be necessary in the interest of efficient operations for the Employer to schedule a hybrid run serving both special education and regular education students and/or taking runs together, the aggregate running time of which may or may not exceed the two (2) hour minimum, (one and one half (1.5) hour minimum for employees hired on or after 9/1/2012), paid run time for the driver's base run. In such instances, any contractual provision to the contrary notwithstanding, the Union agrees that the Employer may schedule such hybrid or tacked runs, provided, however, that a driver will be paid for actual run time at his/her regular hourly rate plus an amount equivalent to one-half (1/2) of the actual non-driving time within the two (2) hour minimum, (one and one half (1.5) hour minimum for employees hired on or after 9/1/2012), paid run time for the driver's base run, but not less than twenty (20) minutes.
