Small Business Enterprise Certification
Dear Mr. Martin Gombert:

We are pleased to advise you that after careful review of your application and supporting documentation, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has determined that your firm meets the eligibility standards to be certified as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) as required under Metro's SBE Program. Your firm will be listed in Metro's SBE database of certified SBEs under the following specific areas of expertise:

NAICS 541613: MARKETING CONSULTING SERVICES
NAICS 541910: MARKETING RESEARCH AND PUBLIC OPINION POLLING NAICS 561611: INVESTIGATION SERVICES
Your SBE certification is valid for five years from the date of this letter and applies only for the above NAICS code(s). Any additions and revisions must be submitted to Metro for review and approval.

In order to ensure your continuing SBE status, you are required to submit an annual update along with supporting documentation. If no changes are noted, then your SBE status remains current. If there are changes, Metro will review to determine continued SBE eligibility. Please note, your SBE status remains in effect unless Metro notifies you otherwise.

After the five-year certification period, your entire file will be reviewed in order to ascertain continued SBE certification status. You will be notified of the pending SBE status review and any documentation updates necessary prior to the expiration date.

Also, should any changes occur that could affect your certification status prior to receipt of the annual update application, such as changes in your firm's name, business/mailing address, ownership, management or control, or failure to meet the applicable business size standards or personal net worth standard, please notify Metro immediately.

Metro reserves the right to withdraw this certification if at any time it is determined that it was knowingly obtained by false, misleading, or incorrect information. Your SBE certification is subject to review at any time. The firm thereby consents to the examination of its books, records, and documents by Metro.

Congratulations, and thank you for your interest in Metro's SBE Program. Should you have any questions, please contact us at (213) 922-2600.

Hi Rashidi,
Asking is always good. I could drop the price to about $590.00 but that is the lowest I could go on this. Your project is very demanding and as I explained before the left over after the $501.00 in not only profit but equipment and time from our overhead to organize it.

Hello Rashidi,

The break down on the detail is as follows:
1- Labor $414.00
2- Supplies $870.00 This will be for about 7-10 busses and has the city requirements as far as the quality of the products. About $87.00 per bus.
3- Approximate cost per bus is $501.00
4- The $124.00 is left from your price but doesn't necessarily mean profit since many other activities are involved such as (scheduling, process of buying the products, hardware equipment polisher machines and towels).

We would really like to propose on your janitorial services. We could offer this to you in an hourly rate which is the most common. Our hourly rate is $24.50 per hour per employee. This rate includes wages, payroll taxes, liability insurance and worker's comp. The supplies could be obtain by you the client or if we get them we will pass it at cost to the client. If you give me more details regarding the cleaning of your facility daily I could then put a cost projection for your review. All I need to know is how many hour per day you are looking to have the employee? and if you have more than one employee?. Also, if you provide the cleaning supplies or you prefer the company to do it.

Please let me know if you need any additional information and I'll do my best to provide it.

Hello Sally,

I really appreciate your opportunity. As you may already know we have being doing the cleaning services to your busses and would really like to continue doing so. Last month on October 8, 2021 we did them for the last time. We detailed 7 of the vehicles at a cost per vehicle of $625.00. We did follow the city guidelines and used the specific require materials and equipment. I'm sure we could continue doing this for a minimum of 2 more years without increasing the cost unless the city requirements change. Please let me know if there is any format you would like me to present this offer made to you.

I know that the CUCP program maybe extensive, with regards to the approval process, but if you do get approved we have close to 15 operations in the LA Region that we potentially can use Twin Valet on.

Just food for thought.

Hello David,

We will be wrapping up our proposal tomorrow. However, we need some clarification from you.

As Sally mentioned in a previous email, the El Monte RFP states that in order to claim certified DBEs, we must only use the California Unified Certification Program Database (CUCP). Certifications from other agencies or organizations will not
be accepted.

We checked the CUCP site and was not able to find your company there.

Unfortunately the MBE/DBE 2015 certification will not be useful since it was issued from the City of Los Angeles and not the CUCP.

Are we missing anything here? Do you have documents that support your CUCP approval?

Your immediate response will be greatly appreciated.

Mr. Gombert,

My name is Rashidi Barnes and I work for First Transit’s BD Team. I recently spoke with one of our location managers, Zack Deukajian, about proposing a secret rider program to the City of El Monte, Ca.

Currently we are bidding on this project, but I would like to speak to you about potentially including your services in our bid.

If this is some interest to you, please let me know and we will set up a time to chat.

First Transit is committed to providing a work environment free of prohibited harassment.

Harassment because of race, color, religion, gender, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related conditions, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, physical or mental disability, military or veteran status, citizenship status, actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information or carrier status or any other consideration prohibited by applicable law is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated.

First Transit’s anti-harassment policy applies to all persons involved in the operation of the Company, regardless of their position, and prohibits harassment, even if it does not rise to the level of being unlawful. This policy applies to all employees of the Company, including managers, officers and co-workers and third parties doing business with or for First Transit, such as customers, visitors and vendors. Harassment does not require the loss of some tangible economic benefit but includes behavior that creates a hostile or threatening work environment. The Company prohibits such conduct, even if the conduct is not sufficiently severe or pervasive to constitute unlawful harassment. If such harassment occurs in the workplace by someone not employed by the Company, the procedures in this policy should be followed. For purposes of this policy, the workplace includes: actual worksites, any setting in which work-related business is being conducted (whether during or after normal business hours), company-sponsored events, or company owned/controlled property.

Any employee who is determined to have engaged in conduct prohibited by this policy or other inappropriate conduct, even if it does not rise to the level of prohibited harassment, will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Employees should note that they may be held personally liable for any acts of unlawful harassment.

Retaliation for complaining about discrimination or for providing information relating to such complaints, is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated, regardless of the outcome of the complaint. See the Company’s Policy Against Retaliation set forth below.

Sexual Harassment Defined
For purposes of this policy, sexual harassment is defined to include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

• Submission to such conduct is either explicitly or implicitly made a term or condition of an individual’s employment
• Submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting the individual
• Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creates a hostile or threatening working environment

12 Sexual harassment includes various forms of offensive behavior based on sex. The following is a non-exhaustive list of the type of conduct prohibited by this policy:

• Unwanted sexual advances or propositions (including repeated and unwelcome requests for dates).
• Offering employment benefits in exchange for sexual favors. • Making or threatening reprisals after a negative response to sexual advances. • Visual conduct: leering, staring, making obscene or sexual gestures, displaying sexually suggestive objects or pictures, cartoons, calendars, posters, websites, emails or text messages.
• Verbal conduct: making or using sexually derogatory comments, innuendos, epithets, slurs, sexually explicit jokes, or comments about an individual’s body or dress, whistling, making suggestive or insulting sounds.
• Verbal and/or written abuse of a sexual nature, graphic verbal and/or sexually degrading commentary about an individual's body or dress, sexually suggestive or obscene letters, notes, invitations, emails, text messages, tweets or other social media postings. • Physical conduct: touching, assault, or impeding or blocking normal movements. • Retaliation for making reports or threatening to report sexual harassment.

The above list of examples is not intended to be all-inclusive. Federal, state, and local governments protect against sexual harassment and provide for various remedies. There are additional applicable laws in a variety of jurisdictions.

Other Types of Unlawful Harassment Defined
Harassment on the basis of any legally protected status is prohibited, including harassment based on race, color, religion, gender, sex, pregnancy, childbirth or related conditions, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, physical or mental disability, military or veteran status, citizenship status, actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information or carrier status, or any other consideration prohibited by applicable law. Unlawful harassment in employment may take many different forms. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Verbal conduct including taunting, jokes, threats, derogatory comments, vulgar, profane, or threatening comments or slurs based on an individual’s protected classification, including racial slurs and jokes
• Visual or written conduct such as statements or images in posters, cartoons, photos, drawings, calendars, websites, e-mails, text messages or publications that are harassing based upon any legally protected characteristic
• Physical conduct such as assault, blocking normal movement, restraint, touching or other physical interference with work directed at an individual because of an individual’s protected status
• Threats and demands to submit to certain non-work-related conduct or perform certain non- work-related actions to keep or get a job, to avoid some other loss, or as a condition of job benefits, security or promotion because of an individual’s protected status

Preventing Harassment
Preventing harassment, including but not limited to, sexually offensive conduct, requires increased awareness by everyone of the impact their conduct might have on others. Employees should be 13 sensitive to cultural differences that may exist in the workplace. What one employee thinks is proper conduct might be viewed as inappropriate by another. It is no excuse that the alleged offender “meant no harm” or “was just kidding.”

Manager’s Responsibility
All managers are responsible for:

• Implementing this policy, which includes, but is not limited to, taking steps to prevent harassment and retaliation;
• Ensuring that all employees under their supervision have knowledge of and understand this policy;
• Promptly reporting any complaints to the designated Human Resources Representative so they may be investigated and resolved in timely manner; • Taking and/or assisting in prompt and appropriate corrective action when necessary to ensure compliance with this policy; and
• Conducting themselves, at all times, in a manner consistent with this policy.

Failure to meet these responsibilities may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Any employee or applicant who believes that they have been subjected to or witnessed any kind of harassment or believes this policy has been violated should follow the reporting procedure set out in the Company’s Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation Reporting Procedure Policy.

Any employee who is determined to have engaged in conduct prohibited by this policy or other inappropriate conduct, will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Retaliation for complaining about discrimination or for providing information relating to such complaints, is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated, regardless of the outcome of the complaint. See the Company’s Policy Against Retaliation set forth below.

C. Policy Against Retaliation

It is a policy of First Transit to fully support any employee who reports actual or perceived discrimination, harassment or unlawful conduct. Retaliation for complaining about discrimination, harassment or retaliation, or for providing information relating to such complaints, is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated, regardless of the outcome of the complaint. In other words, employees are protected for speaking up in good faith if they believe discrimination, harassment or retaliation has taken place, and from providing information related to such complaints, even if the complaint is ultimately not substantiated. Any manager, or co-worker who retaliates against a complaining employee or anyone involved in an investigation of a complaint will be subject to discipline and/or termination.

Some examples of what may constitute retaliation may include: denial of promotion, refusal to hire, denial of job benefits, demotion, suspension, termination, negative evaluations, reprimands and harassment. The above list of examples is not intended to be all-inclusive.

14 Any form of retaliation for speaking up about perceived bias, harassment or discrimination, or retaliation for providing information related to any investigation into such matters, is a separate violation of the Company’s Harassment Free Workplace Policy and the Company strictly prohibits such conduct. Such conduct may also be unlawful. If you believe that you have been subjected to retaliation by a co-worker, or manager, or believe another individual has been subject to retaliation, you should promptly report the matter using the Company’s Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation Reporting Procedure Policy set forth immediately below.

D. Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation Reporting Proc edure

Any employee or applicant who believes that they have been subjected to or witnessed any kind of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, coercion, or intimidation by anyone, whether by an officer, co-employee, a customer or vendor, or a member of our management, should report it immediately.

Complaints may be made verbally, or in writing, to the employee’s manager or with Region Human Resources by calling the confidential Ethics and Compliance Toll-free Hotline at 1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534) contacting the Hotline intake site at ethicsfirst.ethicspoint.com, or emailing [email protected]. Complaint reporting forms are available.

Employees are not required to report any prohibited conduct to a manager who may be hostile, who has engaged in such conduct, who is a close associate of the person who has engaged in such conduct, or with whom the employee is uncomfortable discussing such matters.

Employees will not be retaliated against for submitting a good faith report under this policy or cooperating in an investigation. Employees are encouraged, but not required, to communicate to the offending person that his/her conduct is offensive and unwelcome. Any manager who receives either a verbal or written, formal or informal complaint must immediately notify the Human Resources Department after receiving the complaint.

All complaints will be thoroughly and objectively investigated. The investigation may include interviews of individuals believed to have information regarding the alleged conduct. Such complaints or investigations will remain confidential to the extent possible and permitted by law. For instance, the Company may need to disclose certain information to investigate a matter and disclose corrective measures taken.

If the investigation reveals that a violation of the Company’s non-discrimination, anti-harassment or anti-retaliation policy or other inappropriate conduct has occurred, then the Company will take prompt corrective action, including discipline up to and including termination, as appropriate under the circumstances, and regardless of the job position of the parties involved.

The Company may discipline an employee for any inappropriate conduct discovered in the investigation regardless of whether the conduct amounts to a violation of law. If the person who engaged in the harassment, discrimination or retaliation is not employed by the Company, then the Company will take whatever corrective action is reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. Appropriate action may also be taken to deter any future discrimination, harassment or retaliation prohibited by this policy.

If a complaint cannot be substantiated, the Company may take appropriate action to reinforce its commitment to providing a work environment free from harassment. 15 It is the obligation of all employees to cooperate fully in the investigation process. In addition, disciplinary action may be taken against any employees who attempts to discourage or prevent any employee from using the Company’s complaint procedure to report misconduct or who provide knowingly false information during an investigation.

The initiation of a good faith complaint of harassment or retaliation will not be grounds for disciplinary action, even if the allegations cannot be substantiated. Any individual who makes a complaint that is demonstrated to be intentionally false may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.

Complaints may be made anonymously using the Ethics and Compliance Toll-free Hotline at

1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534) contacting the Hotline intake site at ethicsfirst.ethicspoint.com, or emailing [email protected].

16 Section 2
Employment Practices

A. Whistleblowing Policy

First Transit is committed to conducting our business with honesty and integrity, and we expect all staff to maintain high standards in accordance with our Code of Business Ethics. However, all organizations face the risk of things going wrong from time to time, or of unknowingly harboring illegal or unethical conduct. The Company encourages employees to speak up and raise questions and concerns promptly about any situation that may violate our Code of Business Ethics, our policies and procedures, or the laws, rules, and regulations that govern our business operations.

If you have any questions or concerns related to any conduct or activities that you believe may violate our Code of Business Ethics, our policies and procedures, or the laws, rules, and regulations that govern our business operations, including but not limited to, any suspected wrongdoing or danger affecting any of our activities, you should report it under this policy. Reference the employee portal, posted policy or see your manager for details regarding the Whistleblowing policy.

We hope that in many cases you will be able to raise any concerns with your manager. You may tell them in person or put the matter in writing if you prefer. They may be able to agree a way of resolving your concern quickly and effectively.

However, where the matter is more serious, or you feel that your manager has not addressed your concern, or you prefer not to raise it with them for any reason, you can either raise it with your manager’s manager, or your Region HR manager. Employees may also directly file a written or verbal complaint by calling the confidential Ethics and Compliance Toll-free Hotline at

1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534) contacting the Hotline intake site at ethicsfirst.ethicspoint.com, or emailing [email protected].

Managers are charged with assuring that they and their staff comply with the whistleblower protections and that no retaliation occurs because of a reported safety related issue.

SECTION 2
Employment
Practices
17 For more information on Whistleblowing refer to FirstGroup’s Whistleblowing Policy.

Nothing in this policy, our Whistleblowing Policy, or this Handbook prohibits an employee from reporting concerns to, filing a charge or complaint with, making lawful disclosures to, providing documents or other information to or participating in an investigation or hearing conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, National Labor Relations Board, Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local agency charged with the enforcement of any laws.

B. Employment Eligibility Status and E-Verify

U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States and who comply with applicable immigration and employment law.

First Transit participates in the E-Verify program. E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. As a condition of employment, every individual must provide satisfactory evidence of his or her identity and legal authority to work in the United States within 3 business days of commencing employment.

If the employee cannot verify his or her right to work in the United States within 3 business days of employment, the Company will be required to terminate his/her employment immediately.

The Company will not employ any individual ineligible to work under applicable immigration laws.

Employees are required to immediately inform the Company of any change in employment status.

C. Performance Evaluations

First Transit may periodically conduct Performance Evaluations of employees. The frequency and type of evaluation depends on the position.

A positive performance review does not guarantee a wage increase or a promotion. These decisions are made at the discretion of the Company and depend on several factors in addition to an employee’s individual performance. We reserve the right to make any workforce changes (including termination) before or after performance evaluations.

D. Career Pathing

First Transit posts open positions. The posting will include a job title and description, job requirements/qualifications and information on how to apply for the position. Visit the FirstGroup Careers site at https://apply.internal.firstgroupcareers.com to see a listing of open positions and to apply online. Questions can be directed to the Talent Acquisition team at 513.419.3222. In some circumstances, the Company may choose to not post a position. Whenever possible, First Transit jobs will be filled by current First Transit employees who meet all job requirements and are the most qualified candidate for the position.

First Transit offers an online library to assist employees with their professional development goals through First America University: http://firstuniversity.skillport.com. Eligibility for online learning programs varies by job role. Assigned course work, found in Employee Learning Plans, are to be completed while at work, and on company time. Courses of a general nature or non-assigned 18 courses are also available on your own time and are provided as a benefit to employees in office and managerial roles, who want to professionally develop in areas outside of company required learning. For more information contact: [email protected]

E. Employee Transfer Requests

Employees may request transfers from one Company location to another. Employees who would like to be considered for transfer to another location should contact location management for information on the location transfer process.

Please refer to your location Manager, location Human Resources Representative, or the internal careers website for location openings.

A benefit of working with First Transit is the ability to transfer between locations. We cannot guarantee that transfer requests will be granted. Pay and Benefits may change between locations.

Agreement to transfer is dependent upon business necessity at both the current and new work locations and the employee’s work performance, as well as whether the employee meets all job requirements of the position and is the most qualified candidate for the position.

When an employee elects to transfer to a new location and the transfer request has been approved by both current and new work managers, the original date of hire from the current location will be maintained with the HRIS/Payroll system kept as relating to years of service toward vacation entitlement (if applicable) and service awards eligibility (if applicable).

19 Section 3
Safety, Environmental, and Security

A. First Transit Safety Policy

First Transit will not perform any service, transport or use a product, unless it can be done safely.

First Transit, requires all employees to perform their duties safely and with concern for the safety of our passengers, other employees and the public. Management is committed to providing a safe workplace, the proper training, protective equipment, and a work environment conducive to safe practices and policies.

Management believes that working safely promotes quality, productivity and profitability. Prevention of collisions and personal injuries is of critical importance to the everyone. The Company is committed to on-going safety processes to help employees work safely at all times.

Safety protects our most important asset....our people.

B. Drug and Alcohol Policy

First Transit supports the policy of a drug-free workforce and does not tolerate any violation of our Drug & Alcohol Policy. The Drug & Alcohol Policy has been prepared, published, and distributed to all employees and contains the complete details of the drug and alcohol programs, including federally required testing and compliance. The Policy, as mentioned briefly here, has been provided to each employee and is incorporated into the Employee Handbook by reference. A copy of the Policy is available at every Company location, and from any manager in the Company.

The purpose of this Policy is to assure employee fitness for duty and to protect our employees, customers, and the public from the safety and health risks posed by the misuse of alcohol and the illegal use of drugs. Any violation of the Policy may result in further disciplinary action, up to and including termination for a first offense.

SECTION 3
Safety, Environmental
and Security
20 Illegal use of drugs includes use of any illegal drug, misuse of legally prescribed drugs, and use of illegally obtained prescription drugs. The “use” of drugs means presence in an employee’s body system while on duty. A positive test is sufficient to support a finding of “use.”

Please refer to the Company’s Drug and Alcohol Policy in its entirety for a complete understanding of the program. If you or location management has additional questions about the Drug and Alcohol Policy, contact your National Drug and Alcohol Program Administrator at 1.513.684.8736.

C. First BeSafe Principles

The First BeSafe Principles provide the basic truths or fundamental laws about working safely in our workplace and on our vehicles. The First BeSafe Principles are designed to work with the BeSafe Program explained below in BeSafe section.

All First Transit employees are expected to adopt these principles and put them into practice at all times, so together we may create a safe work environment free from injury to ourselves, our co- workers and our passengers.

The motto for the First BeSafe Principles is: “Think Safe, Act Safe, BeSafe.” This motto is your instruction to work safely at all times.

If you feel you cannot perform a task safely, do not perform the task. Stop and immediately advise management of issues preventing you from working safely and what is required to ensure your safety.

Listed below are the BeSafe principles:

• Prevent injury to myself and others
Be aware of any hazardous condition or practice that may cause injury to people, damage to property, or the environment. Use your BeSafe Handbook to record and report.

• Perform all necessary safety checks and risk assess my work area and job before I do any work
Speak to your manager before you start work if you are unsure of required safety and risk assessments.

• Follow all safety procedures, signs and instructions
If you do not understand, speak to your manager before you start work.

• Keep my work area clean and tidy at all times
Untidy areas could cause injury to you or to your colleagues and waste time and energy.

• Wear my protective clothing and equipment as required Keep it in good working order, wear it correctly and ask for a replacement if it becomes damaged or unfit for your use.

21 • Use only the correct tools and equipment that I am authorized and trained to use for the job
Check that they are in good condition before use and use them safely .

• Only adjust and repair any piece of work equipment if I am trained and authorized to do so Never modify any equipment that changes the designed use of the equipment or alters a safety feature.

• Assess any load and my capability to move it before lifting Make sure you get help with any heavy or awkward items and follow the correct lifting techniques.

• Report all injuries, incidents and near misses to my manager Seek help immediately and first aid (if necessary).

• Tell my manager if I have any suggestions to prevent injuries in my work place Make a note of your suggestions and discuss with your manager.

D. BeSafe

The main purpose of BeSafe is to reduce collisions and injuries by increasing the communications between employees and managers about safety. As part of the BeSafe process you are encouraged to initiate reports of any near miss, route and security hazards or any unsafe condition. When you make a report to your manager about a safety or security concern, your manager will investigate the concern and follow-up with you regarding the resolution of the report. The Company will not retaliate against or impose any other form of retribution on any employee because of his or her good faith reporting of a safety issue/concern, another person’s suspected violation of Company policies or guidelines, or any alleged violations of federal, state or local laws.

Our managers initiate conversations with employees about their observations of both safe and unsafe behaviors. A quality discussion about safety benefits all parties and will lead to safer behaviors for our employees and passengers.

As part of the BeSafe initiative, each employee will be issued a BeSafe Handbook to carry with them at all times while they are on duty. The BeSafe Handbook must be carried in either the clear plastic pouch with the safety lanyard and worn around the neck or inserted in the clear plastic pocket on the new style safety vests.

The BeSafe Handbook contains a “Safety Contact” pad which is for use by the employee for documenting and reporting safety, route and security concerns. If an employee is involved in a near miss or a “close call” we are asking for their help in reporting the event so we all may learn the lessons from it and perhaps prevent a collision or injury from occurring.

When an employee observes an item on their route which in their opinion creates a safety or security hazard we are asking for their help in bringing it to their manager to discuss. If the safety or security hazard requires immediate attention, notify dispatch.

22 E. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and High Visibility Apparel

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be used when and where appropriate. Reflective Safety Vests or Company issued High Visibility Uniform Shirts are to be worn by all employees and visitors while they are pedestrians in the bus yard, employee parking lots and at any time they are exposed to vehicle traffic.

In addition, vests are to be worn by employees while outside a vehicle on public streets or at Transit Centers while performing their various responsibilities (e.g., putting out reflective triangles, assisting passenger loading, driver exchange, and foot traffic to break or rest areas). Failure to properly adhere to this policy will be considered a serious safety violation and will result in severe disciplinary action up to and including termination.

F. Parking

First Transit shall not be liable for any damage to personal vehicles at the workplace that may be caused by another party. All employees must reverse park buses and personal vehicles, unless the location has received a waiver from their Regional Safety Manager.

G. Personal Safety

We care about you and your personal safety and will do everything possible to provide you with a safe work environment. If you are injured during your work, you should report immediately to your manager for first aid treatment, but, no later than 24 hours, no matter how slight the injury.

If your injury is of a serious nature and requires further attention, you will be taken to the nearest qualified treatment center. All compensable claims will be paid by our claims administrator.

Every employee will have personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe work methods required for certain tasks in his/her job. It is the responsibility of the employee to use that equipment and follow the safe work methods as instructed. Failure to do so may lead to injury for the employee and/or others. It is a violation of Company policy to not use the required equipment provided for certain tasks.

Any employee, vendor and visitor on Company property shall wear the Company-issued “reflective safety vest” or high-visibility clothing when walking on Company property outside of our buildings.

Where designated pedestrian walkways are marked, they should be utilized at all times when walking in our bus yards. Only Authorized Employees are allowed in a First Transit maintenance shop. When required to enter, all other employees and persons will remain behind the yellow lines in the safe area and will leave immediately when asked by a shop employee or manager.

WORKING SAFELY IS A BEHAVIOR, not a thought. Each employee is responsible for his/her own safety and that of others around him/her. No employee is exempt from the Company’s BeSafe Principles and safe work rules. As an employee of First Transit you are expected to tell others when you see them not using protective equipment and/or not following a safe work method, or if not comfortable doing so, then to your manager. A safe workplace requires ALL employees’ cooperation and acceptance of responsibility.

23 Right to Know: Employees
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that all employers advise their employees, through written communications and formal training, of:

• Potentially hazardous materials within the work site
• Precautionary measures which must be taken to avoid a chemical release into the environment and employee exposure to that release in the event it occurs • Proper, safe methods of spill control and clean up

Each employee has a right to know:

• Of any operations in his/her work area where toxic or hazardous chemicals are present • These details about hazardous materials in his/her work area:
o Which one(s) he/she may handle
o Where to find information about the materials
o How to safely handle those materials
o How to react in case of an uncontrolled release of those materials o How to protect yourself from hazardous materials in all situations within the location

Your location must:
• Have a written hazard communications program (HCP) that describes how the HCP will be implemented
• Conduct training of all employees so they will know about hazardous materials in their work areas
• Ensure that all hazardous material containers (both primary {manufactured} and secondary {miscellaneous buckets/containers} are properly labeled) • Ensure Safety Data Sheets are available to employees

Each new employee must receive initial training at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new chemical hazard the employees have not previously been trained about is introduced into their work area. Information and training may be designed to cover categories of hazards (e.g., flammability, carcinogenicity) or specific chemicals. Chemical-specific information must always be available through labels and safety data sheets.

H. Risk Assessment

All employees who perform maintenance and repairs to vehicles within transit centers and bus yards or on road calls shall complete a Risk Assessment prior to performing any work on a vehicle. The Risk Assessment process requires employees about to perform a maintenance task to confirm they possess the training, skills, knowledge, abilities, tools, and equipment to safely perform the task at hand.

All employees who perform maintenance and repairs to vehicles shall complete a Risk Assessment form by assessing:

• Are You Properly Trained to Perform the Task?
• If Task Requires Lifting, Are Lifts Secured, Are Jack Stands Used Correctly? 24 • Are You Wearing the Appropriate PPE?
• Have You Performed the Proper LOTO?
• Are You Aware of the Potential Risks of Performing this Repair?

If the answer is “NO” to any of the above assessments the technician is to immediately contact their manager.

I. Prevention of Workplace Violence

At First Transit, a safe work environment is fundamental to the success of our employees and our Company. Each First Transit employee has the right to expect that he/she is free from threatening, or dangerous behaviors and practices while working for the Company. Threats or acts of violence— including intimidation, bullying, physical or mental abuse and/or coercion—that involve or affect Company employees or that occur on Company Property will not be tolerated. Company Property includes owned, leased, or occupied office or maintenance locations, parking areas, and Company vehicles. This also extends to Company employees on the property of our customers or suppliers. The prohibition against threats and acts of violence applies to all persons involved in the operation of the Company, including, but not limited to, Company employees and other personnel, contract and temporary workers, consultants, contractors, customers, vendors, visitors and anyone else on the Company’s premises or in Company vehicles.

Violations of this policy by an employee will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination from employment on the first offense.

Workplace violence is any intentional conduct that is sufficiently severe, abusive or threatening to cause an individual to reasonably fear for his or her personal safety or the safety of his or her family, friends and/or property such that employment conditions are altered or a hostile, abusive or threatening work environment is created for one or several employees.

Examples of conduct that may be considered threats or acts of violence under this policy include, but are not limited to:

• Any act, threat or veiled threat of physical, verbal or emotional abuse, force, violence, or intimidation, including but not limited to hitting, shoving or other such aggressive conduct, directed toward another or used to control or intimidate another individual or his/her family, friends, associates or property
• Any pattern of coercive behavior which involves any act or threat of abuse, force, violence, intimidation, or other aggressive conduct.
• Unlawful harassing or threatening communications (including without limitation phone calls, emails, text messages, etc.)
• Surveillance or stalking by any means, including, but not limited to, physical, telephonic, electronic, or by any camera or video device
• Possession or use of any weapon in violation of our weapons policy • Communicating an endorsement of the inappropriate use of firearms or weapons. • Intentional destruction of, or threats to destroy or damage, Company property, Company Premises or a Company vehicle

25 • Impeding or blocking movement of another person or urging others to do the same (unless lawfully protected)
• Using, threatening, or implying the use of any weapon or object that could be used as a weapon
• Enlisting, coercing or asking others to do any of the above; and/or aiding others in doing any of the above

Workplace violence does not refer to workplace arguments or debates that are zealous or impassioned, provided there is no resort to any form of coercion or aggressive behavior.

Discussions about sporting activities, popular entertainment or current events are not considered workplace violence when there is no threat of violence being directed to the workplace or any individual connected with it. Rather, workplace violence refers to behavior that demonstrates an intention to engage in violence, condones violence in our workplace, or targets any individual with acts or threats of violence.

Firearms, Weapons, Explosives
No firearms, weapons, dangerous materials or chemicals, or explosives of any kind shall be brought onto Company property or carried by any person while on Company business. Company Property includes owned, leased, or occupied office or maintenance locations. Unless this prohibition is contrary to state or local law, Company Property specifically includes company parking areas and company vehicles. This also extends to Company employees on the property of our customers or suppliers.

Employees are not permitted to transport or store weapons in vehicles owned or leased by the Company and used by the employee for work purposes.

This restriction excludes materials present on Company Property resulting from contractual obligations between First Transit and a customer or supplier.

This prohibition specifically includes firearms and weapons including, but not limited to, air pistols and air rifles, guns, rifles and firearms of any type, including those for which the holder has a legal permit; switchblades or other knives; ammunition; bombs; bows and arrows; clubs; slingshots; blackjacks; metal knuckles and similar devices that by their design or intended use are capable of inflicting serious bodily injury or lethal force; toxic agents; chains; or other items that are threatening by their nature or that are displayed in a threatening or intimidating manner.

Electronic Surveillance
For purposes of workplace safety and security and to prevent theft and other misconduct the First Transit reserves the right to conduct electronic surveillance in work areas. Surveillance techniques may include, but are not limited to, video cameras and monitoring of telephone and electronic mail activity at Company locations.

Employees should be aware that the Company reserves the right to monitor, review, and reveal the contents of email being transmitted on Company equipment, as well as grant third parties access to it with the exception of using email during non-working time.

26 If there is any reported incident of theft, trespass, workplace violence, employee misconduct or any type of safety violation (hereafter collectively referred to as "security incidents"), the Company will utilize its surveillance equipment as an investigatory tool. The Company will also make use of its surveillance equipment to deter any future security incidents.

The Company also reserves the right to actively monitor, through its surveillance cameras, any areas for safety reasons (to protect against equipment failure, breakage, or accident) or confidentiality reasons (to protect documents or other proprietary information). Although the video surveillance described in this policy is intended to monitor for security incidents and other safety reasons at the Company, it is possible that such surveillance may monitor activities not related to the Company's business.

The Company respects the privacy of its employees. Accordingly, no video cameras will be installed in the Company's restrooms or in any lactation or changing areas.

The surveillance video cameras and any video footage from the surveillance are to be used solely for the purposes of this video surveillance policy. Any unauthorized use of these video cameras and/or videotapes is strictly forbidden and may result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment.

Reporting Threats of Violence
The Company encourages anyone who sees, hears, or learns of any conduct or statement that seems threatening or suspicious, and/or any Weapons on Company Premises or in Company Vehicles, immediately to report such conduct or statement, either to his/her Supervisor or Manager, to the Human Resources Department, FirstGroup America Security, and/or to the confidential Ethics and Compliance Hotline at 1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534), contact the Hotline intake site at ethicsfirst.ethicspoint.com, or email [email protected]. If there is an immediate risk or imminent threat of violence, serious harm, or life-threatening conduct, employees should immediately call 911, local police, or other law enforcement.

The Company will not tolerate any retaliation against anyone who, in good faith, reports observations to prevent workplace violence or who cooperates in any investigation of such report.

Violations of this policy by an employee will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination from employment on the first offense.

No provision of this policy statement or any other provision in this policy alters the at-will nature of employment with the Company. The Company will make the sole determination of whether and to what extent, threats or acts of violence will be acted upon by the Company. In making this determination we may undertake a case-by-case analysis in order to ascertain whether there is a reasonable basis to believe that workplace violence or other violation of this Policy has occurred.

27 Section 4

First Transit is committed to paying all employees correctly and to maintaining accurate payroll records. To ensure you are paid correctly, you must timely and accurately report and record all hours you work and all the earned benefit hours that you use.

Work means any activity that you are required, requested, or permitted to perform in the interest of the Company or for the Company’s benefit.

Earned benefit hours means paid time-off hours that you earn, such as vacation, bereavement time, and disability (if applicable).

Timely means prior to the next scheduled shift.

Reporting and Recording Work Hours and Absences from Work You must accurately report and record all hours you work for the date you performed the work including meal periods where appropriate. Using current payroll procedures, the Company will pay hourly employees for all hours worked and will pay for earned benefit hours (for example, vacation) used on the date such hours were approved to be used, in accordance with Company Policy.

SECTION 4
Wage and Hour
28 It is a violation of the Company’s policy for anyone to instruct or encourage another employee to work “off the clock,” to incorrectly report hours worked, or to alter another employee’s time records.

If any employee is directed or encouraged to incorrectly report hours worked, or to alter another employee’s time records, he or she should report the incident immediately to Human Resources.

Editing Time Records
Time records may only be edited to correct a mistake, such as when an employee advises he or she mistakenly listed an incorrect start or stop time. Only those authorized may edit time records. Those authorized to edit time records may not edit time for another employee without prior approval.

If you are authorized to edit time records, you may not edit your own time. A First Transit member of management must authorize edits to your time records when editing is required. If a member of management is unavailable, another person with time editing responsibility must authorize edits to your time.

Falsification of Payroll Records Prohibited
First Transit prohibits falsification of any payroll record, which includes, but is not limited to intentionally or knowingly:

• Clocking in or clocking out for another employee
• Failing to report and record all work hours or accrued paid time off used • Reporting and/or recording false information regarding work hours or earned benefit hours • Failing to correct false information regarding work hours or earned benefit hours, which includes repeatedly failing to correct any errors
• Instructing any employee to falsify any payroll record • Misusing paid time or using paid time without authorization (e.g. using paid time and claiming pay for leisure and other non-work activities)

If it is determined that an employee violated this policy, disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment may be issued.

Investigations and Appropriate Action
First Transit will investigate promptly and thoroughly any report of a possible deviation from this policy seriously. If the Company determines that a deviation from this policy has occurred, it will take appropriate action, including compensating any employee for improperly edited work hours or earned benefit hours, to correct the issue and prevent further errors.

C. Employee Classification

Employees are classified as either exempt or nonexempt under federal and state wage and hour laws. Exempt employees (which we refer to internally as salaried employees) are employees whose job assignments meet specific tests established by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state law and who are exempt from minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. Exempt employees are compensated on a salary basis. Nonexempt employees (which we refer to internally as hourly employees) are employees whose job positions do not meet FLSA or applicable state exemption tests, and who are NOT exempt from minimum wage and overtime pay requirements.

Nonexempt employees are eligible to receive overtime pay for hours worked more than 40 hours in a given week, or as otherwise required by applicable state law. 29 D. Overtime

When operating requirements or other needs cannot be met during regular working hours, employees may be scheduled to work overtime. Nonexempt employees will be paid overtime where required by and in accordance with applicable law. Paid time off such as holiday pay, vacation pay, and jury duty pay (where applicable) will not count toward hours worked for determining overtime pay.

All overtime work must be authorized in advance by the employee’s manager. Working overtime without prior authorization may result in disciplinary action.

E. Meal and Rest Breaks

It is the Company’s policy to comply with all laws regarding meal and rest breaks. If an employee works in a state where there are no applicable meal or rest break requirements, the Company will provide break time as appropriate, subject to operational needs and manager discretion. Meal and rest breaks in these locations is not guaranteed.

F. Lactation Accommodation

The Company will provide a reasonable amount of break time to accommodate an employee desiring to express breast milk for the employee’s infant child. Employees needing breaks for lactation purposes may use ordinary paid rest breaks or may take other reasonable break time as needed. If possible, the lactation break time should run concurrently with scheduled meal and rest breaks already provided to the employee. If the lactation break time cannot run concurrently with meal and rest breaks already provided or additional time is needed for the employee, the lactation break time will be unpaid for hourly employees.

Employees should contact their manager and/or their Region Human Resources representative during their pregnancy or before their return to work to identify the need for lactation accommodations.

G. Garnishment Fees

Whenever the Company is required to garnish an employee’s wages, an administrative fee will be charged to the employee per garnishment where permitted by law. These fees are regulated by the state and subject to change at the discretion of the state.

H. Payday

You will be informed of the regular schedule for the issuance of pay statements or direct deposit.

The pay statement will cover compensation earned for the previous work period. You may be required to present your driver’s license when receiving your pay statement. If you are unable to produce your driver’s license you will not receive your pay statement and will not be able to drive company or client vehicles again until you have produced a current license.

30 I. Deductions

Your pay statement is subject to various deductions. The pay statement will show you exactly what deductions have been taken from your pay. You will want to keep this as a permanent record.

Certain deductions are required by law. These include, for example:

• Federal Income Tax
• Social Security Tax
• Medicare Tax
• State Income Tax (where applicable)
• Local or county taxes

Other deductions are optional and will be taken only if you have signed a written or electronic authorization for the deduction (i.e. credit union, medical insurance, uniforms, etc.).

J. Direct Deposit

Employees are encouraged to sign up for direct deposit or a Pay Card, which will be automatically deposited, but can also be paid with a “live check”. Pay information can be accessed online via employee self-service.

K. Employee Self-Service
Employee Self-Service offers insight into pay information as well as additional features, including:
the ability to update personal information, tax withholding, direct deposit information, tools to assist employees, and answers for pay-related questions.

L. Reporting Errors

Any error or overpayment made in your pay statement should be reported immediately to your manager.

If you believe that your work hours or earned benefits hours have not been accurately reported or recorded, or if you are aware of any other potential deviation from this policy, or if you have any questions or concerns about your pay or any deductions taken, you should immediately contact your immediate manager, or if necessary the confidential Ethics and Compliance Hotline at

1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534), contact the Hotline intake site at ethicsfirst.ethicspoint.com or email [email protected].

If you believe that your immediate manager may be violating this policy, you are not required to report the violation to that person. You may report the possible violation to any First Transit member of management, or you may call the Ethics and Compliance Hotline or Human Resources.

Every report will be fully investigated, and the Company will provide the employee with any compensation to which the employee is entitled in a timely fashion. The Company complies with all applicable laws, including the Fair Labor Standards Act, and will not allow any form of retaliation against individuals who make good faith reports of alleged violations of this policy, or who cooperate in an investigation by the Company, even if the reports do not reveal any errors or wrongdoing. 31 M. Change of Personal Status

It is critical that all changes of personal status, regardless of if it was updated on Employee Self Service, be reported immediately in writing without delay to the Manager. (Examples: name, address, phone number, emergency contact, tax information, copy of license renewal) It will be your responsibility to notify the office to make sure the change is updated with your location records.

Certain Company correspondence will be mailed to your home address. It may also be important to contact you by phone, or to contact you or your family quickly in case of illness, accident or emergency.

32 Section 5
Benefits

A. Health and Welfare

A variety of employee insurance benefit options are offered. Benefit options are communicated by the FGA Benefits Center to employees as they become eligible. Insurance benefits, along with all other economic benefits offered, are location and project based. Benefit plans are defined in legal documents such as insurance contracts and summary plan descriptions. If employees are offered benefits, and if a question arises about the nature and extent of plan benefits or if there is a conflict in language, the formal language of the Plan documents govern, not the informal wording of this Handbook. Plan documents, if applicable, are available for your inspection. The Company and its designated benefit-plan administrators reserve the right to determine eligibility, interpretation, and administration of issues related to benefits offered by the Company. The Company reserves the right to change, cancel or amend benefits.

The FGA Benefits Website provides considerable information as well as tools to assist employees and answer benefits questions. All employees of the Company have access to the FGA website. You can review, update, enroll, and change benefit elections and personal information.

For security reasons, first time users will be prompted to register to set up a password.

If web access is not available to an employee, questions may be directed to the FGA Benefits third- party administrator by calling: 1.833.277.8056

SECTION 5
Benefits
33 B. Years of Service

Years of Service affects the accrual of some benefits. An employee in good standing, with one to four years and 11 months of service, who is rehired after voluntarily leaving the Company for not more than six months, will be granted continuous service status regarding benefits awarded based on years of service. An employee in good standing with five or more years of service, who is rehired after voluntarily leaving the Company for not more than twelve months, will be granted continuous service status regarding benefits awarded based on years of service. To the extent eligibility or waiting periods for benefits is governed by Benefit Plan documents, the terms of the Benefit Plan documents control eligibility, waiting periods and other terms of the plan.

C. Vacation

Locations may have the opportunity to provide paid vacation time for full-time employees. Contact your manager for specific questions or further details. Earned vacation time must be used in the current vacation year, generally April 1st through March 31st and may not be carried over from year to year except where state or local law prohibits “use it or lose it” policies. If an employee does not use earned vacation time in the current vacation year, he or she will not be paid for it.

An employee who terminates from the Company, voluntarily or involuntarily, will be paid the prorated amount of vacation time allocated but not used based on the last day of employment.

All requests for vacation time must be authorized in advance by the employee’s immediate manager prior to taking the time away from work. Failure to return to work on the next scheduled day following a vacation leave may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

If an employee terminates from the Company, voluntarily or involuntarily, prior to the end of the vacation year, and he or she has taken vacation time that exceeds the prorated earned vacation benefit based on the employee’s last day of employment, the employee will be required to reimburse the Company the equivalent of vacation pay taken and not accrued (unless adjusted from final paycheck), in accordance with applicable law.

D. Minimum Hours Worked

While the Company may be able to offer part-time work, each employee must work at least an average of 4 hours (or more, as defined by location management) a week over a three-month period. These hours must be worked in accordance with location management to insure a timely and effective operation. Please contact your immediate manager for further information.

E. Employee Discount Program

The Company is proud to work with several local, regional and national-chain businesses to offer an employee discount program to you and most often, your family. With this program, there are many great offers, discounts and deals on a wide-array of products and services that may include but not limited to: cellular phones services and accessories, restaurants, vehicle purchases and rentals and many more. Please contact your location management team to learn more about the employee discount program available with our current vendors.
34 F. Sick Leave

For employees working in a jurisdiction that has a mandatory sick leave law, the Company will comply with all legal requirements.

35 Section 6
Attendance, Leaves and Accommodation

A. Attendance

To maintain a productive work environment that is conducive to providing exceptional customer service and meet our contractual obligations, First Transit relies on its employees to arrive to work regularly and on time for each scheduled workday. An employee’s failure to report to work as scheduled can negatively affect First Transit’s business operations. It can result in fines being imposed on First Transit by its customers and places an undue burden on other employees.

If you find it necessary to be late or absent, you must notify your manager directly as early as possible. Except for emergency situations, notification should be NO later than the night BEFORE your scheduled shift. You should indicate the reason for being late or absent. If you know you are going to be late or absent for more than one scheduled shift, please report that fact. If not stated, it will be assumed the call covers one scheduled shift only.

Tardiness or absence may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment, unless the absence or tardiness is legally protected. The following types of time off will not be considered grounds for disciplinary action under this policy:

• Excused time off, including vacation and other approved forms of paid time off • Sick or safe leave provided under a mandatory sick or safe leave law • Approved leaves of absence, including jury duty leave, military leave, leave protected under the Family and Medical Leave Act or similar state laws, and time off or leave provided under the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state laws, also any municipal or local laws • Time off due to a work-related injury that is covered by workers’ compensation

Each situation of absenteeism or tardiness will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Even one unexcused absence or tardiness may be considered excessive, depending upon the circumstances. The Company will not subject employees to disciplinary action or retaliation for an absence or for tardiness that is legally protected. If the employee believes that his or her absence or SECTION 6
Attendance, Leaves
and Accommodation
36 lateness to work is legally protected, the employee should notify his or her manager of this fact at the time of the absence or tardiness. Employees will not be required to reveal the nature of any underlying medical condition. If an employee believes he or she has been mistakenly subject to disciplinary action for an absence or for tardiness that the employee believes is legally protected, the employee should promptly discuss the matter with his or her manager or Human Resources.

Company policy requires employees to submit a physician’s release to return to work when absent three or more consecutive workdays.

Absent extraordinary circumstances or a legally protected reason, if employees fail to report for work without any notification to their manager and their absence continues for a period of three days, the Company will consider that the employee has abandoned and voluntarily terminated his or her employment.

Appropriate standards of attendance ensure that quality service is provided in all areas of our business. Please consult your manager regarding site specific policies.

B. All Leave to Run Concurrently

An employee’s leave of absence may be covered by more than one leave policy and more than one applicable federal, state or local law. If so, the employee’s leave time under each policy and applicable law will run concurrently (at the same time) to the extent permitted by law. For instance, if an employee is taking maternity leave, which is also covered under the Family Medical Leave Act, the employee’s leave of absence will be considered both maternity leave and FMLA leave.

C. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

The Company will grant family and medical leave in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal and state law in effect at the time the leave is granted. Although the federal and state laws sometimes have different names, the Company refers to these types of leaves collectively as “FMLA Leave.” In any case, employees will be eligible for the most generous benefits available under applicable law. To the extent required by law, some extensions to leave beyond an employee’s FMLA entitlement may be granted when the leave is necessitated by an employee's work-related injury or illness or by a “disability” as defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act and/or applicable state or local law. Certain restrictions on these benefits may apply.

Eligibility Requirements
Employees are eligible if they have worked for a covered employer for at least one year, for 1,250 hours over the previous 12 months, and if at least 50 employees are employed by the Company within 75 miles.

FMLA does not affect any federal or state law prohibiting discrimination or supersede any state or local law or collective bargaining agreement which provides greater family or medical leave rights.

Basic Leave Entitlement
FMLA requires covered employers to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per rolling 12-month period to eligible employees for the following reasons:

37 • For incapacity due to pregnancy, prenatal medical care or child birth • To care for the employee’s child after birth, or placement for adoption or foster care (bonding leave)
• To care for the employee’s spouse, son, or daughter, or for a child where the employee stands in loco parentis, or parent or a person who stood in loco parentis to the employee, who has a serious health condition
• For a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the employee’s job • For Military Family Leave

The applicable "12-month period" utilized by the Company is a rolling 12-month period measured backward from the date an employee uses his/her FMLA leave.

If both spouses work for the Company and are eligible for leave under this policy, the spouses will be limited to a total of 12 work weeks off between the two of them when the leave is for bonding leave or to care for a parent with a serious health condition.

Military Family Leave Entitlements
Eligible employees with a spouse, son, daughter, or parent on a Covered Active Duty (as defined by FMLA) or are called to Active Duty status in the National Guard or Reserves in support of a contingency operation in a foreign country may use their 12-week leave entitlement to address certain qualifying exigencies.

Qualifying exigencies may include attending certain military events, arranging for alternative childcare, addressing certain financial and legal arrangements, attending certain counseling sessions, and attending post-deployment reintegration briefings.

Covered Service Member Caregiver Leave Entitlements
FMLA also includes a special leave entitlement that permits eligible employees to take up to 26 weeks of leave to care for a covered service member during a single 12-month period. A covered service member is a current member of the Armed Forces, including a member of the National Guard or Reserves, who has a serious injury or illness incurred or aggravated in the line of duty on Active Duty that may render the service member medically unfit to perform his or her duties for which the service member is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy; or is in outpatient status; or is on the temporary disability retired list.

A "single 12-month period" begins on the date of the employee's first use of such leave and ends 12 months after that date. If both spouses work for the Company and are eligible for covered service member caregiver leave, the spouses will be limited to a total of 26 work weeks off between the two when the leave is for covered service member caregiver leave only or is for a combination of covered service member caregiver leave, military family leave, bonding leave and/or leave to care for a parent with a serious health condition.

Benefits and Protections
During FMLA leave, the Company maintains the employee’s health coverage under any “group health plan” on the same terms as if the employee had continued to work. This means that if employees want their benefits coverage to continue during their leave, they must also continue to make the same premium payments that they are now required to make for themselves or their

38 dependents. In some instances, the Company may recover premiums it paid on the employee's behalf to maintain health coverage if the employee fails to return to work following a FMLA Leave.

Under most circumstances, employees will be reinstated to the same position they held at the time of the leave or to an equivalent position with equivalent pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. However, employees have no greater right to reinstatement than if they had been continuously employed rather than on leave. For example, if an employee would have been laid off if he or she had not gone on leave or, if the employee's position was eliminated during the leave, then the employee will not be entitled to reinstatement. Key employees may be subject to reinstatement limitations in some circumstances. If employees are considered a “key employee,” those employees will be notified of the possible limitations on reinstatement at the time the employee requests a leave of absence.

Use of FMLA leave cannot result in the loss of any employment benefit that accrued prior to the start of an employee’s leave. The employee's length of service at time of the leave will remain intact, but accrued benefits such as vacation and sick leave may not accrue while on an unpaid FMLA Leave.

Use of Leave
An employee does not need to use this leave entitlement in one block. Leave can be taken intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule when medically necessary. Employees must make reasonable efforts to schedule leave for planned medical treatment so as not to unduly disrupt the employer’s operations. If FMLA Leave is taken intermittently or on a reduced schedule basis due to foreseeable planned medical treatment, we may require employees to transfer temporarily to an available alternative position with an equivalent pay rate and benefits, including a part-time position, to better accommodate recurring periods of leave. Leave due to qualifying exigencies may also be taken on an intermittent basis.

If an employee’s request for intermittent leave is approved, the Company may later require employees to obtain recertification of their need for leave. For example, the Company may request recertification if it receives information that casts doubt on an employee's report that an absence qualifies for FMLA Leave.

Substitution of Paid Leave for Unpaid Leave
Generally, FMLA Leave is unpaid. However, employees may be eligible to receive benefits through state-sponsored programs or the Company’s sponsored wage-replacement benefit programs.

Employees may choose, or employers may require use of accrued paid leave while taking FMLA leave. All payments of wage-replacement benefits and accrued paid leave will be integrated so that employees will receive no greater compensation than their regular compensation during this period.

The use of paid benefits will not extend the length of a FMLA Leave.

To voluntarily elect to use paid leave for FMLA leave, employees must comply with the Company’s paid leave policies.

Employee Responsibilities
Employees must provide 30 days’ advance notice of the need to take FMLA leave when the need is foreseeable. When 30 days’ notice is not possible, the employee must provide notice as soon as practicable and generally must comply with the Company’s normal call-in procedures.

39 Employees must provide sufficient information to the Company to determine if the leave may qualify for FMLA protection and the anticipated timing and duration of the leave.

Sufficient information may include that the employee is unable to perform job functions, the family member is unable to perform daily activities, the need for hospitalization or continuing treatment by a health care provider, or circumstances supporting the need for military family leave. Employees must inform the Company if the requested leave is for a reason for which FMLA leave was previously taken or certified. Employees also may be required to provide a certification and periodic recertification supporting the need for leave. Employees must notify Human Resources as soon as possible if it becomes apparent that the employee can resume work earlier than anticipated.

Employees must notify Human Resources and provide supporting documentation if they cannot return to work on their scheduled return date.

Absent unusual circumstances, failure to comply with notice and certification requirements may result in a delay or denial of the leave. If an employee fails to return to work at leave’s expiration and has not obtained an extension of the leave, the Company may presume that the employee does not plan to return to work and has voluntarily terminated their employment.

An employee who fraudulently obtains Family and Medical Leave from the Company is not protected by FMLA’s job restoration or maintenance of health benefits provisions. In addition, the Company will take all available appropriate disciplinary action against such employee due to such fraud.

Non-Discrimination
The Company takes its FMLA obligations very seriously and will not interfere, restrain or deny the exercise of any rights provided by the FMLA. We will not terminate or discriminate against any individual for opposing any practice or because of involvement in any proceeding related to the FMLA. If an employee believes that his or her FMLA rights have been violated in any way, he or she should immediately report the matter to Human Resources.

Additional Information
To obtain forms to request FMLA or for more information about FMLA or other state laws regarding Leave of Absence, refer to the information posted on your location’s bulletin board, ask your Manager, or contact your Region Human Resources support.

A Notice to Employees of Rights Under FMLA (WHD Publication 1420) is attached to this Handbook.

D. Military Leave

First Transit recognizes that employees who are members of the United States military may need to attend annual training or to report for Active Duty. The Company provides unpaid military leaves of absence to employees who serve in the uniformed services as required by USERRA and applicable state laws.

Service consists of performing any of the following on a voluntary or involuntary basis: active duty, active duty for training, initial active duty, inactive duty training, full time National Guard duty, absence from work for an examination to determine fitness for such duty, and absence for 40 performing funeral honors duty. Total military leave time may not exceed 5 years during employment, except in certain, defined circumstances.

Employees who are members of the military reserves or the National Guard may attend annual training sessions, with a maximum of two weeks of paid leave allowed during a 12-month period.

Health Insurance for military service for 30 calendar days or less is provided as if the employee had remained employed. For military service, more than 30 calendar days, employees may elect COBRA/USERRA coverage for up to 24 months or the remaining period of military service, whichever is shorter. Employees who do not elect to continue coverage during military service can be reinstated into the health plan when reemployed by contacting the Benefits Administrator within 30 days of return.

To be eligible for reinstatement, an employee must have provided advance notice of the need for military leave (where required) and have completed his or her service on a basis that is not dishonorable or otherwise prohibited under USERRA. Employees whose military service will be for fewer than 31 days must report back to work at the beginning of the first full, regularly scheduled work day following completion of service, after allowing for a period of safe travel home and eight hours of rest.

Employees whose military service will be for more than 30 days, but fewer than 181 days must apply for re-employment within 14 days after completing service. Employees whose service is greater than 180 days must apply for re-employment within 90 days after completing service.

As with other leaves of absence, failure to return to work or to reapply within applicable time limits may result in loss of reemployment rights. Full details regarding reinstatement are available from Human Resources.

In general, an employee returning from military leave will be re-employed in the position and seniority level that the employee would have attained had there been no military leave of absence. If necessary, the Company will provide training to assist the employee in the transition back to the workforce.

Vacation and other paid time off benefits do not continue to accrue during a military leave of absence. An employee returning from military leave is entitled to any unused, accrued vacation benefits the employee had at the time the military leave began minus any vacation benefits the employee chose to use during the leave. Upon reinstatement, the employee will begin to accrue vacation benefits at the rate he or she would have attained if no military leave had been taken.

E. Leave of Absence Without Pay

First Transit may grant a Non-Medical Personal Leave of Absence, due to extenuating circumstances, to full-time and part-time employees who have completed at least six months of continuous employment. A Non-Medical Personal Leave of Absence is defined as up to a 30- calendar day period, agreed upon and approved by the Company.

First Transit may also grant a non-FMLA Medical Leave of Absence to full-time and part-time employees. After an employee submits a request for non-FMLA medical leave, the manager and/or 41 Human Resources will engage in a formal interactive process with the employee to identify the precise limitations resulting from the employee’s condition and leave accommodation appropriate for those limitations.

A Leave of Absence (personal or medical) is unpaid, unless required to be paid under state or local law or if covered by an applicable wage-replacement benefit program. However, employees are required to use available accrued vacation and other paid time off during a Personal Leave of Absence to the extent permitted by law. The employee must provide First Transit with notice and any supporting documentation if they cannot return to work on the date approved and scheduled for them to return. Vacation and other paid time off benefits do not continue to accrue during leaves of absence without pay.

An exempt employee will not be paid for days not worked in the following circumstances:

• When an exempt employee works only part of the week during his or her first and last week with the Company, the employee will be paid only for the days actually worked • When an exempt employee takes unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act or corresponding laws, the Company will not pay for such days/hours of absence • The Company may require an exempt employee to use available vacation or other paid time off benefits, as a replacement for salary, when the employee takes less than a full-day off from work • An exempt employee’s salary will not be reduced when the employee works part of a week and misses part of a week due to service as a juror, witness or in the military or for lack of work. • When an exempt employee takes one or more full days off for personal reasons other than sickness or disability, the employee may not be paid for such day(s) of absence, but the employee may use available vacation or other paid time off benefits to make up for the reduction in salary
• When an exempt employee takes three or more full days off from work due to sickness or disability, the employee may not be paid for such day(s) of absence, but the employee may use available vacation time or other paid time off benefits to make up for the reduction in salary

The employee may be reinstated to the same or equivalent position of employment that the employee occupied prior to taking the personal leave of absence whenever possible, or if it is required by federal, state or local law.

F. Transitional Duty

First Transit maintains a commitment that employees injured on the job receive prompt quality medical care and return to work in a productive capacity as quickly as they are medically able to do so.

Should you sustain an injury while on the job, you must take the following steps:

• Report the incident to your manager immediately
• Complete a written report of the incident
• Follow the medical provider’s instructions
• Keep all future medical appointments
• Bring the Work Status form to all medical appointments

42 Participate in discussions regarding:

• Your current condition
• Medical treatment
• Special problems
• Concerns
• Your possible return to work in your regular job or a transitional job • Return to a regular or temporary transitional duty position when available and the doctor permits

Transitional duty, when available, is a temporary process that allows employees to remain productive in the workforce while they regain their full capacity during the recovery/rehabilitation process.

There are two types of transitional duties that allow for this process:

• Limited duty allows for an employee to work in their original job with some limitation • Modified work allows for an employee to work a position other than their normal position

This Return to Work policy requires employees to:

• Return to work once they are medically able to do so, by a physician, to a job they can perform • Participate in this process to the best of their ability as a condition of employment • Sign an Employee Responsibility Form which indicates that the employee has received and understands this process

Employees that choose to not participate in this process may subject themselves to disciplinary action, up to and including termination, as well as running the risk of losing Workers’ Compensation benefits.

G. Reasonable Accommodation

The Company will provide a reasonable accommodation to qualified individuals with a disability unless doing so would pose an undue hardship on the Company or poses a direct threat to the health and safety of the individual or others. It is the employee’s responsibility to inform the manager or Human Resources, in writing when possible, if there is a need for a reasonable accommodation due to a disability.

Pregnant employees who need an accommodation due to pregnancy, a pregnancy related condition, a disability related to pregnancy and/or childbirth affecting ability to work must notify manager and/or Human Resources.

Notice must be made in writing, when possible, of the need for a change in working conditions or environment due to pregnancy/childbirth. The employee should provide any supporting documentation which explains the work limitations. The manager and/or Human Resources will engage in a formal interactive process with the employee to identify the precise limitations resulting from the employee’s condition and potential reasonable accommodations that could overcome those limitations, such as a leave of absence, modification of job duties, etc.

43 First Transit may request medical documentation to establish the employee’s need for an accommodation. Employees are required to cooperate with this process by providing all necessary documentation supporting the need for accommodation and being willing to consider alternative accommodations when applicable. Any medical documentation obtained will be kept confidential and only disclosed to appropriate managers and Human Resources on a need to know basis.

H. Religious Accommodation

The Company will provide reasonable accommodation for employees’ sincere religious beliefs, observances, and practices when a need for such accommodation is identified or requested and the accommodation does not present an undue hardship to the Company. A reasonable accommodation is one that eliminates the conflict between an employee’s religious beliefs, observances, or practices and either the employee’s job requirements or the Company’s rules, policies or work schedules, without causing undue hardship to the Company. Religious accommodations may arise in regard to dress, scheduling and religious practices.

The Company has developed an accommodation process to assist employees, management, and Human Resources. Through this process, the Company establishes a system of open communication between employees and the Company to discuss conflicts between religion and work and to act to provide reasonable accommodation for employees’ needs. The intent of this process is to ensure a consistent approach when addressing religious accommodation requests.

Any employee who perceives a conflict between job requirements or the Company’s rules, policies or work schedules and his or her sincere religious belief, observance, or practice should bring the conflict to the attention of Human Resources to initiate the accommodation process. Managers who have been made aware of a request for a religious accommodation should also contact Human Resources. The Company prefers that accommodation requests be made in writing, and in the case of schedule adjustments, as far in advance as possible. In situations where a religious need is uncertain or unclear, the Company may seek additional information from the employee or other appropriate sources.

I. Other Leaves of Absence

Many states or an applicable CBA may require First Transit to provide employees with additional leaves of absence, such as pregnancy disability leave, blood/bone marrow donation leave, school activities leave, jury duty leave or time off to vote. Please contact Human Resources with any questions regarding required leave entitlements.

Policies and Procedures

A. Freedom of Association (FOA) Policy

First Transit aspires to be a preferred employer in our industry. To that end, the Company supports human rights and the individual rights of its employees, including an employee’s right to associate themselves with a labor union if they so choose.

Though not an exhaustive list, management at First Transit supports an employee’s right to:

• Freedom of Association
• A secret ballot election
• An informed choice
• A representative voter turnout

To manage our business in support of our employees and the above rights and to refrain from management conduct, whether written or verbal, which is intended to influence an employee’s view or choice regarding labor union representation.

During union organizing campaigns, management shall support the employee’s individual right to choose whether to vote for or against union representation without influence or interference from management.

Management shall not act in any way which is or could reasonably be perceived to be anti-union.

This includes refraining from making derisive comments about unions, publishing or posting pamphlets, flyers, letters, posters or any other communication which could be interpreted as criticism of the union or advises employees to vote “no” against the union. However, we believe that employees should be able to make an informed choice and therefore management may provide balanced factual information to assist its employees in making that choice. Further guidance as to what is and is not acceptable conduct can be given by your Human Resources Department.

SECTION 7
Policies and
Procedures
45 By extension of this policy, management is reminded of its obligation to honor the principles set out in the FirstGroup Corporate Social Responsibility policy, including the Code of Business Ethics.

For any employee who feels that this policy has been violated and wishes to file a complaint, please complete a Complaint Form, which can be obtained from your local management or corporate Human Resources, and send it by one of the methods noted below:

• Via U.S. Mail to: FirstGroup America Attn: Vice President, Human Resources, 600 Vine St. Suite 1400, Cincinnati, OH 45202
• Call First Transit’s confidential Ethics and Compliance toll-free number at 1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534),
• You may contact First Transit’s confidential Ethics and Compliance Hotline intake site at ethicsfirst.ethicspoint.com, or email [email protected]

For reference, submitting a Complaint form does not affect an employee’s right to file a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board or any other public agency.

B. HIPAA Compliance Plan

First Transit provides two main types of transportation – Fixed Route and Demand Response. In Fixed Route transportation, vehicles move along an established route regardless of who is (or isn’t) on the vehicle. Examples could include a city bus, airport shuttle or even a light rail system. To operate a Fixed Route service, First Transit doesn’t need any information about individual riders.

This is very different from Demand Response services, where routes are designed based on specific rider’s needs and requests. When we provide Demand Response services, we are entrusted with personal (and sometime protected) information about our riders. All locations providing eligibility-based Demand Response services follow our HIPAA policies and procedures to protect the privacy and security of rider’s information. These locations are known as HIPAA Locations. These policies and procedures will impact how you operate every day.

In providing services, First Transit may work with rider’s personal information, including Protected Health Information (“PHI” and “ePHI”) First Transit is committed to complying with all applicable provisions of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”). As such, First Transit has adopted a HIPAA Compliance Plan, on the Company’s Intranet or from any manager. This plan includes policies and procedures to ensure the privacy and security information and further reaffirms and evidences First Transit's commitment to a culture of compliance. Workforce members at HIPAA Locations or with access to PHI or ePHI, will be required to sign and abide by a Confidentiality Agreement and Acceptable Use Policy, shall participate in the HIPAA education and training provided by First Transit and adhere to the privacy and security policies of First Transit.

First Transit will impose appropriate sanctions on workforce members who fail to comply with the Compliance Plan or privacy and security policies. Possible sanctions for violations of First Transit’s policies and procedures include disciplinary action as reflected in the Employee Handbook and include possible termination of employment. Additionally, workforce members that violate HIPAA regulations may be subject to civil penalties and/or criminal prosecution. As a member of First Transit’s workforce, you are required to report all concerns, including known or suspected privacy 46 and security breaches, regarding the privacy or security of PHI or ePHI to your manager and the First Transit Compliance Officer. Anonymous reporting may be made through the Ethics & Compliance number at 1.877.3CALLFG (1.877.322.5534) or via email at [email protected] Attn: HIPAA Compliance Officer.

C. Introductory Period

An Introductory Period of 90 calendar days shall constitute a trial period for all new hires. During which time, the Company will judge the ability, competency, fitness and other qualifications of new employees to do the work for which they were employed. The Company reserves the sole right to determine the suitability for continued employment of an individual within these 90 calendar days for any reason not protected by law. During this time, you can evaluate the Company as a place to work, and the Company can evaluate you as an employee. The Company reserves the right to extend the Introductory Period. Successful completion of the Introductory Period does not alter the at-will nature of employment for non-unionized employees and does not preclude the Company from further evaluating your work performance throughout your time with First Transit. Unionized employees should refer to their collective bargaining agreement.

D. Solicitation and Distribution of Literature

Solicitation for any purpose is not permitted while the employee is on paid working time or the employee being solicited is on paid working time. Non-employees are not permitted to solicit for any purpose on Company property.

As used in this policy, "paid working time" includes all time for which an employee is paid and/or is scheduled to be performing services for the Company. Paid working time does not include time, whether paid or unpaid, when an employee is legitimately not performing services for the Company, such as breaks, lunch periods or before and after scheduled work hours.

Employees may not distribute literature or other printed material at any time in Company work areas or during paid working time, nor may any person not employed by the Company distribute literature on Company property. Employees are permitted to distribute literature and other printed material during non-working times in non-work areas.

Employees who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

E. No Smoking Policy

First Transit is a smoke free and vape free workplace. “Smoking” includes the use of traditional tobacco products, smokeless tobacco, and the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems or electronic smoking devices, to include “vaping”.

Smoking is not permitted in any First Transit facility or in any First Transit vehicle, or client vehicle.

This includes the office, employee lounge, restrooms, hallways, and shop area. Those employees who wish to smoke must do so outside the building in the designated area. Additionally, smoking is not permitted on client property.
47 There is NO smoking/NO vaping within 50 feet of the fuel island. This policy applies to all employees, visitors, vendors and staff.

Violation of this policy may subject an employee to discipline, up to and including termination of employment.

F. Personal Messages

The Dispatch office will receive and deliver personal messages to Company employees in the case of emergency only.

G. Personal Appearance

If uniforms are provided, they should be kept in good repair and worn every day. Regardless of whether uniforms are available, all First Transit employees must present a neat and clean appearance, appropriate for the job assigned. As part of their personal appearance, First Transit employees are also expected to observe good habits of grooming and personal hygiene.

Body odor should not create distractions. Employees are also encouraged to avoid wearing or applying excessive amounts of perfume, cologne, or other heavily scented items in the workplace.

The benefits of a neat and clean appearance are many, but the major impact on people in our business is that:

• It demonstrates self-respect.
• A neat and clean appearance commands more respect from the passenger and will help maintain better discipline.

Items that are not acceptable as proper dress on the job include:

• Shirts or blouses without sleeves below the shoulder, such as tank tops, halter-neck tops, shirts which expose the midriff, etc.
• Shirts and slacks that have a “torn off” look
• Clothes with holes, tears or un-repaired damage
• Footwear must be appropriate for position, location, and weather conditions • Any clothing displaying threats, epithets, derogatory comments based on a protected status (such as race, sex, or religion), slurs or that which depicts unlawful conduct • Shorts, unless authorized by manager
• Body fit clothing, i.e., spandex and muscle shirts
• Loose or hanging clothing, jewelry or other accessories that could become a safety hazard and caught on equipment or moving parts of the vehicle

Dress code may vary by position and location. See your manager for details.

Operators have specific uniform and appearance expectations they must meet. Employees must look neat and clean when reporting for duty. Wearing apparel is to be clean and shoes are to be presentable.
48 Hair must be neat and clean. Any facial hair must be neat, trimmed and not interfere with sight or peripheral vision. Sunglasses may not be worn indoors and only be worn as needed for safe vehicle operations in appropriate outdoor settings.

If applicable to the employee’s job, the prescribed local uniform must be worn when on duty.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must always be used when and where appropriate. Reflective safety vests, or Company-issued high visibility uniform shirts, are to be worn by all employees while they are pedestrians in the bus yard or maintenance areas. Vests are to be worn while outside a vehicle on public streets or a Transit Center while performing various responsibilities (e.g., putting out reflective triangles, assisting passenger loading, driver exchange, and foot traffic to break or rest areas.

H. Exit Interviews

If employees are considering or have chosen to leave the Company, please provide your manager with appropriate notice (2 weeks is recommended). An exit interview may be scheduled and is most appreciated.

I. Use of Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices

Personal cell phone use for personal reasons during working time must be strictly limited. Cell phones issued by the Company to hourly employees are intended primarily for performing job functions and may not be used for non-business purposes during working times or in any working areas. Employees out of town on business should use a Company cell phone for business calls and limited personal calls instead of a hotel phone. Cell phones issued to Salaried Employees are intended for business use, recognizing that Salaried Employees can use the Company issued unit for personal use within the limits of the phone service plan provided by the Company.

Employees may not use any type of cell phone, cell phone accessories (including voice, image, and text messaging) or other electronic devices, while driving on Company business or driving/walking on Company owned or occupied property, in a workshop, or while climbing or descending stairs.

Any phone calls made or taken while on Company property must occur within a designated safe place.

All cell phones (and other cellular devices) must be switched off and stowed out of sight while a driver is operating a Company vehicle. It is not acceptable to have the cell phone powered on, even if in vibrate or silent mode. Cell phone calls should not be taken during any business meetings, unless an emergency condition exists.

For safety reasons, cell phones are only permitted to be used in designated “Cell Phone Zones.” Employees are not permitted to walk through the yard and talk on the cell phone. This includes the use of hands-free devices.

For the purposes of this Section, “Driving” means being in control of a vehicle, even when the vehicle is stationary with the engine running. “Non-driving” means the vehicle is parked in a safe place with the gear selector in Neutral or in Park with the emergency/parking brake applied and the engine turned off. “Cell phone” includes, but is not limited to: cell and mobile phones, mobile or other 49 electronic devices for personal communication, handheld or hands-free electronics devices, ear buds, Bluetooth, voice recognition, etc.

Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

J. Company Property

The Company’s confidential and proprietary information is vital to its current operations and future success. Each employee should use all reasonable care to protect or otherwise prevent the unauthorized disclosure of such information. The unauthorized access to, or disclosure of the Company’s confidential and proprietary information via any method of communication, is strictly prohibited and may be subject to discipline up to and including termination and referral to law enforcement for criminal prosecution. Employee obligations with respect to maintaining the confidentiality of such information continue even after your separation from employment with the Company.

“Confidential Information” refers to a piece of information, or a compilation of information, in any form (on paper, in an electronic file, or otherwise), related to the Company’s business that the Company has not made public or authorized to be made public, and that is not generally known to the public through proper means. Confidential or proprietary information includes, but is not limited to, nonpublic information regarding the Company’s business methods and plans, databases, systems, technology, intellectual property, know-how, marketing plans, business development, products, services, research, development, inventions, financial statements, financial projections, financing methods, pricing strategies, customer sources, employee health/medical records, system designs, customer lists, methods of competing and training materials and workbooks. Additionally, employees who by virtue of their performance of their job responsibilities have the following information, should not disclose such information for any reason, except as required to complete job duties, without the permission of the employee at issue: social security numbers, driver’s license or resident identification numbers, financial account, credit or debit card numbers, security and access codes or passwords that would permit access to medical, financial or other legally protected information.

Confidential Information does not include information lawfully acquired by non-management employees about wages, hours or other terms and conditions of employment, if used by them for purposes protected by §7 of the National Labor Relations Act such as joining or forming a union, engaging in collective bargaining, or engaging in other concerted activity for their mutual aid or protection. Under the 2016 Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA): (1) no individual will be held criminally or civilly liable under Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret (as defined in the Economic Espionage Act) that: (A) is made in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and made solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or, (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal so that it is not made public; and, (2) an individual who pursues a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of the law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except as permitted by order in that proceeding.

50 When terminating employment with the Company for any reason, all Company property including uniforms, ID Cards, keys, computers, cell phones, and any other Confidential or proprietary Company information or property must be returned immediately. Confidentiality obligations apply after separation of employment as permitted by applicable law.

If, as a part of employment with the Company, an employee enhances or invents any item or material that relates to Company employment, those items or materials are the property of the Company and remain its property. If there are any questions about this policy, contact Human Resources.

K. No Expectation of Privacy

Computers, software, voicemail, cell phones, tablets, lockers, desks, etc., provided to employees for use in performance of their jobs, are the sole property of the Company.

As such, employees have no right of privacy in anything they create, store, send or receive using the Company’s computers, phones or other equipment or resources. There is also no expectation of privacy related to the Company provided lockers, desks, mailboxes, etc. The Company has the right to monitor, search, investigate, and log any and all of its resources provided to employees.

L. Use of Company Equipment and Resources

The Company has significantly invested in telephone lines, fax machines, photocopiers and other types of business equipment, internet access and software that are vital to keeping our operations flowing smoothly and effectively. The Company's resources are limited and, except as provided in the Electronic Resources policy below, should be used for business transactions with the exception of incidental or limited personal use during non-working time.

The Company’s Solicitation and Distribution of Literature policy applies to the use of electronic resources.

Software C ode o f E thics

Employees may use software on local area networks or on multiple machines only in accordance with applicable license agreements.

E

Do not respond to media inquiries on the Company’s behalf without authorization. This policy does not prevent you from speaking with the media, but you must not attempt to speak on behalf of the Company unless you have specifically been authorized to do so by an officer of the Company. Contact Company Communications by emailing [email protected] or dialing 513.362.4600.

54 N. References and Employment Verifications

So that the Company can handle requests for job references in a consistent, fair and lawful manner, all requests for official job references on behalf of the Company should be forwarded to the HR Department. No other manager is authorized to release references on the Company’s behalf for current or former employees. Our policy concerning references for former employees is to disclose only an employee’s name, employment dates and job title. No other information regarding a current or former employee will be provided unless the individual first provides written authorization.

Employment and salary information for creditors, lenders, etc. must be obtained from the TALX System via The Work Number. The Work Number can be accessed at: www.theworknumber.com or by dialing 1.800.367.5690. The First America Employer Code is: 12987.

O. Use of Company/Client Vehicles

Fleet cars or other vehicles may be available at some Company locations and/or provided by the Client. These may be used, on an as-needed basis, for Company business (only if approved in advance by the appropriate manager and the employee is properly licensed to drive). The employee is responsible for any traffic ticket or citation received while operating or in possession of a Company vehicle. Any related fines not promptly paid may be deducted from the employee’s paycheck, in accordance with applicable laws. Company cars are only to be driven by the assigned employee. An employee’s spouse, children, or unauthorized coworkers are not permitted to drive or be a passenger in the Company/Client’s vehicles without prior authorization.

P. Gifts

Employees are prohibited from soliciting or giving gifts, gratuities, or any other personal benefit or favor from or to suppliers, potential suppliers or customers. Employees should avoid any material financial interest in suppliers, competitors, or customers of the Company that could influence their decisions or actions.

Theft or misappropriation of company assets may result in the 55 Company contacting law enforcement. Reference the employee portal or see your manager for details regarding the Travel and Expenses policy.

R. Outside Employment

The Company respects each employee’s right to engage in activities outside of employment such as those that are of a personal or private nature, to the extent that such activities do not create a conflict of interest as described in the Conflicts of Interest policy or adversely affect the employee’s ability to perform his or her job. An example of an activity that might adversely impact an employee’s ability to perform his or her job duties is outside employment.

First Transit full-time employees shall treat their employment with First Transit as their primary employment. While the Company does not prohibit employees from holding other jobs, the guidelines set out in this policy must be followed.

If circumstances require an employee to work a second job, or pursue his or her own business, prior written approval shall be sought from the employee’s manager to ensure that Company operations will not be adversely impacted.

Working for any competitor of the Company must be reported to management immediately. Under many circumstances it is unacceptable and may lead to immediate termination.

Other employment, including self-employment, even if not directly competitive with Company operations, may also adversely impact an employee’s ability and dedication to their primary work duties with the Company. This is especially true in the case of Operators whose work and driving hours are restricted by DOT regulations.

The following types of outside employment are prohibited:
• Employment that conflicts with the employee's work schedule, duties and responsibilities or creates an actual conflict of interest;
• Employment that impairs or has a detrimental effect on the employee's work performance with the Company;
• Employment that requires employees to conduct work or related activities during working times or using any of the Company’s tools, materials or equipment.

For the purposes of this policy, self-employment is considered outside employment. The Company will not assume any responsibility for employees’ outside employment. Specifically, the Company will not provide workers’ compensation coverage or any other benefit for injuries occurring from, or arising out of, such outside employment.

If an employee’s outside employment adversely affects his or her performance on the job or makes it impossible for him or her to carry out any or all of his or her job duties while at work, appropriate disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment may be appropriate. In addition, failure to comply with the notification procedures set out in this policy may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

56 Section 8
General Rules and Employee Relations

A. Employee Requirement to Meet Company Standards

The Company recognizes the importance of maintaining a safe, secure workplace with employees who are qualified, reliable, and nonviolent, and who do not present a risk of serious harm to their coworkers or others. To promote these concerns and interests, the Company reserves the right to investigate an individual’s prior employment history, personal references, and educational background, as well as other relevant information. Consistent with legal or contractual requirements, the Company also reserves the right to obtain and to review an applicant’s or an employee’s criminal conviction record, and related information, and to use such information when making employment decisions, but only to the extent permissible under applicable law.

A pending criminal matter may be considered in appropriate circumstances for business-related reasons, consistent with applicable law. All background checks will be conducted in strict conformity with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), applicable state fair credit reporting laws, and state and federal anti-discrimination and privacy laws. The Company is an equal opportunity employer and will comply with applicable federal, state and local laws relating to the use of background checks for employment purposes.

This includes, but is not limited to, testing required pursuant to US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and First Transit’s Drug & Alcohol Testing Policy.

SECTION 8
General Rules and
Employee Relations
57 B. Duty to Report Law Enforcement Actions

The Company will consider the facts surrounding an arrest, a criminal complaint, an indictment, criminal information, or any other criminal charge or conviction of an employee as a basis for disciplinary action to the extent permitted by applicable law. Employees are required to report any arrests, indictments or convictions to their immediate manager or Human Resources immediately, but no later than prior to the next scheduled work shift, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If the circumstances and the offense charged, in our judgment, present a potential risk to the safety and/or security of our customers, employees, premises and/or property, such events may result in disciplinary or other appropriate action to the extent permitted by applicable law. NOTE: This does not apply where it conflicts with State law.

Operators and safety sensitive employees are required to report all Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) related charges, vehicular collisions, and any moving violation citations received in any vehicle immediately if possible, but no later than prior to their next scheduled work shift, consistent with applicable law.

C. General Operations Information

The Company operates in many communities across North America. Some operations related requirements may be specific to your operating location, while other requirements are based on Company policy, State or Federal law and Municipal/local laws. Please ask your manager if you have questions about local operating requirements.

D. Open-Door Policy

A workplace where employees are treated with respect and one that is responsive to their concerns is important to each of us. This kind of trust is fundamental to the relationship the Company seeks to have with its employees.

We recognize that employees may have suggestions for improving our workplace, as well as complaints about the workplace. We feel that the most satisfactory solution to a job-related problem or concern is usually reached through a prompt discussion with an employee's manager. If the matter cannot be resolved with one’s immediate manager, the employee may speak with their department or manager who will attempt to facilitate a solution. If an employee is unable to resolve the matter through the management chain of command in the department or location, the employee may choose to speak directly to anyone in division management or Human Resources.

First Transit’s Open-Door Policy also allows employees to voice their concerns anonymously. If you would like to submit an anonymous concern, please contact the Ethics and Compliance Toll-free Hotline at 1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534), contacting the Hotline intake site at ethicsfirst.ethicspoint.com, or emailing [email protected]

This Open-Door Policy shall apply to every employee not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. It also extends to contractors and subcontractors.

While we provide employees with this opportunity to communicate their views, please understand that not every complaint can be resolved to the employee's satisfaction. Even so, we believe that 58 open communication is essential to a successful work environment and all employees should feel free to raise issues of concern without fear of reprisal.

In situations involving discrimination or harassment employees should follow the Complaint Procedure set out in Section - Discrimination, Harassment and Retaliation Reporting Procedure – of this handbook without fear of reprisal and should not follow this Open-Door Policy complaint process.

In situations involving Safety, Security, Fraud, or Theft an employee should immediately contact any level of management or Human Resources directly, without fear of reprisal, and without the need to follow this Open-Door Policy complaint process. This may be done in person, by direct contact, phone call, letter, or email message or by utilizing the Ethics and Compliance Hotline. The Ethics and Compliance Hotline can be reached by calling 1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534) or emailing [email protected].

In these situations, an employee may bypass the chain of command that begins with his or her manager.

Other Things You Should Know
Retaliation for using this Open-Door Policy is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated, regardless of the outcome of the complaint. In other words, employees are protected for speaking up in good faith under this Policy. Any manager, or co-worker who retaliates against a complaining employee or anyone involved in an investigation of a complaint will be subject to discipline and/or termination.

Some examples of what may constitute retaliation may include: unwarranted discipline, consistently assigning undesirable work or schedules, busywork designed to humiliate, denying a promotion or benefits, or condoning practical jokes or acts of harassment by others.

Such complaints or investigations into them will remain confidential to the extent possible and permitted by law. For instance, the Company may need to disclose certain information to investigate a matter and disclose corrective measures taken.

If an employee believes he or she did not receive fair treatment from their manager in the location or department chain of command under the Open-Door Policy, they should feel free to approach anyone in management or Human Resources at any time or contact the Ethics and Compliance Hotline.

E. Accident Review Committee

It is best practice to establish an Accident Review Committee (ARC) to provide Operators and others charged with a preventable collision with a forum to appeal the Company’s determination of collision preventability. The Company makes the initial determination of preventability. The ARC does not determine discipline, but the appropriate discipline will be based on the preventability affirmed or rejected by the ARC. The general guidelines of the ARC process are set forth here, and some detail may vary from location to location, with the objective that an employee shall be provided with a fair and unbiased review of his or her collision. An employee’s appeal to the ARC, of the determination that a collision was preventable, must be filed within seven calendar days of the date the employee received notice of the Company’s initial preventability determination. 59 The ARC meets periodically as necessary to resolve appeals. However, in the case of an appeal of a Company determination that resulted in termination, the ARC will convene no later than ten calendar days following the date of the appeal.

Local conditions may vary, however, generally the ARC is made up of five individuals – two hourly employees, two managers, and one neutral person. The ARC selects a Chairperson who will maintain order in the hearing and tally the ballots. The employee who has appealed the collision case to the ARC must be present to present the case and answer questions.

When the facts have been presented, the ARC will render a timely decision following the presentation of evidence and testimony. In rendering its decision, the ARC will rely on the facts presented at the hearing and is not empowered to alter or change established Company policy, including safety or operational rules. The Chairperson counts the ballots and announces the decision of the ARC. The decision of the ARC will be final and binding and is limited to determining the preventability of the collision in question.

F. Placement of Relatives
To ensure unbiased treatment of all employees and to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest in certain employment situations, the Company has adopted a policy with respect to the written disclosure and prior approval of the employment of relatives.

A relative is defined as: a spouse or significant other, son, daughter, father, mother, brother, sister, grandparent, grandchild, son or daughter-in-law, parent-in-law, nephew, niece, uncle, or aunt, or any person who legally acts in one of the above capacities, or who is a legal step or half-blood relative, or a family member who permanently resides with the employee.

The following are examples of relationships that must be disclosed on a Conflict of Interest form for further review and approval or disapproval by the Conflict of Interest Committee:
• Directly or indirectly supervising a relative;
• Being in a position that may influence the hiring, promotion, salary, or other terms and conditions of a relative;
• Being in a position that may influence contracts, retention or other vender relationships with a company or entity controlled by or providing benefit to a relative.

In addition, the employment of a relative of an officer of the Company must be approved by the Conflict of Interest Committee. To the extent possible, a family relationship with a prospective employee must be disclosed by the current employee prior to hire, or as soon as the situation is apparent, and re-reviewed on an annual basis. If you have any questions about the placement of relative policy, you should contact the Human Resources or Ethics and Compliance department.

The Ethics and Compliance Hotline can be reached by calling 1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534) or emailing [email protected].

60 G. Visitors

Visitors to Company locations, including Company employees “visiting” another location, are to report and sign in at the location. Visitors must be provided with a visitor badge to be worn while on Company property. They should be issued a “Visitor Pass” or “Temporary Pass” as is customary at that location. They are to be escorted while on the Company property and surrender their temporary pass and sign out upon exiting.

Visitors must observe and comply with all Safety policies and procedures while on Company property. Under no circumstances may visitors interfere with an employee’s work or the business of the Company.

H. Travel
Employees are responsible for ensuring the most cost-effective routes, timings and travel plans to meet business needs. In addition, they are responsible for confirming their expenses are appropriate and consistent with the needs of the business Expense claims must be accurate and supported by appropriate receipts. For more detailed information see the company’s Travel and Expenses Policy.

I. Unemployment Compensation
In most states, Unemployment Compensation systems are state-controlled and administered. The Company financially supports these systems. Any questions relation to Unemployment Compensation should be directed to your manager.

J. Political Activity

We encourage all employees to vote and be personally active in the political process. However, federal, state/provincial and local laws restrict the use of Company assets in connection with federal, state/provincial and local elections.

Employees may not make, directly or indirectly, any political contribution on an expense account.

The cost of fund-raising tickets for political functions is considered a political contribution. Therefore, including the cost of any such fund-raising function on an expense report, even if business is discussed, is prohibited. Under no circumstances are local petty cash, draft account, or other funds to be used for contributions to federal, state/provincial or local political campaigns. All requests for political contributions or Company resources that will be used towards political contributions, including use of Company vehicles, property, resources, and personnel time, should be directed to the Legal Department or Ethics and Compliance Line for consideration and resolution. The Company has a specific policy for all political donations which must be strictly followed.

Use of employee working time in a political campaign may also be considered the equivalent of a contribution by the Company. It is imperative that any political activity that could be considered a Company sponsorship be disclosed to the Ethics and Compliance and approved by General Counsel. The Ethics and Compliance Hotline can be reached by calling 1.877.3CALLFG, (1.877.322.5534) or emailing [email protected].

69 Section 10
Operators and Safety Sensitive Employees

NOTE: All Sections of the Handbook apply to Operators and Safety Sensitive Employees. Section 10 is intended to focus attention on issues of special importance to this group.

First Transit provides essential services to our passengers. Many of our passengers rely solely on us for their transportation needs, giving them the ability to commute to work, receive vital health care services, attend medical appointments, and provide for many other basic human needs. First Transit and its employees take this responsibility very seriously and our employees are expected to act with integrity, professionalism and above all safety.

This Section addresses matters of significant importance to Operators and Safety Sensitive Employees. (In this Section, they are collectively referred to as “Employees”.) The term “Operator” includes all transit drivers whether or not they hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Certain passenger vehicle Operators must qualify under Federal and State licensing standards and receive additional training. The following information is not intended to be all-inclusive of the operating standards you are expected to meet. Many standards and expectations are stated here in summary form extracted from the training and licensing Employees have received. As a trained professional, regardless of your specific position, you are expected to perform to those standards set by the Company and communicated during Company-provided training. Further, you are held to performance standards established by and relevant to your license, certification, or profession.

Employees must have all required credentials, license, medical card, etc. in their possession at all times while on duty. If you have questions, it is your responsibility to seek further information from your manager.

Additional detailed information is contained in the First Transit System Safety and Security Plan (SSSP) available at each Company location and on the Company intranet.

SECTION 10
Operators and Safety
Sensitive Employees
70 A. Operating Procedures

Dispatch will assign a bus to each Operator prior to the time of pullout. Operators must use the vehicle assigned to them unless there is a valid safety defect and the change is authorized by the Company.

Operators are to use three-point contact when entering or exiting the vehicle. Utilizing hand rails and ensuring proper foot placement on each step to avoid an injury. Before exiting the vehicle, the operator is to stop at the last step and survey their path to avoid tripping.

The Operator must ensure that all passenger stops are made safely without incurring damage to the bus, or causing injury or discomfort to passengers or the public. Operators are not to depart the bus stop until all passengers are seated or in a fixed standing position holding on to a stanchion or strap.

When stopping, Operators must ensure that entrance and exit doors are positioned to assure the safety of passengers. Passenger doors are not to be activated until the bus has come to a complete stop. Passenger doors are not to be deactivated (and interlock released) until the Operator checks both outside mirrors and rear door mirror.

Operator Responsibility to Maintain Schedules
Operators are responsible for maintaining their schedules strictly within posted traffic controls and road and traffic conditions. It is necessary to notify Dispatch immediately whenever the bus is behind schedule by five minutes or more unless local policy dictates a different amount of time.

Intentional delay of schedule will result in disciplinary action.

Every effort should be made to maintain speeds consistent with posted limits and road conditions between stops to operate smoothly and safely. Running ahead of schedule (i.e., running hot) is not acceptable.

Operators must be aware of and adhere to local protocols for transfer connections, breakdowns, marked bus zones, posted bus stops, and stopping in obstructed areas. They are also to be aware of rules concerning leaving a bus unattended at the end of the line, proper use of four-way flashers, railroad crossings, stopping for school buses, funeral processions, driving over fire hoses, and handling lost and found articles.

Animals are not permitted on buses except Seeing Eye dogs and service animals.

B. Vehicle Accidents and Incidents

All accidents and collisions must be reported to Dispatch immediately upon occurrence. When reporting to Dispatch, the Operator must state that he or she is reporting an accident and then answer any questions asked by Dispatch. Further, accidents, possible claims of accidents, damage to equipment, injury and possible injury must be reported in writing on an Accident Report Form. A complete, accurate Accident Report Form must be submitted on the day of occurrence no later than one hour after completion of shift. Operators will be paid to complete an Accident Report Form.

Employees who fail to report an accident may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
71 Operators must provide transit management with any additional accident information immediately upon request. Operators must not make any statements about an accident to any third party, except for: local authorities, company officials and union representatives, if applicable.

Operators must note any vehicle defects that may have contributed to an accident on the Accident Report Form.

Reporting Incidents
Incidents with passengers involving slips and falls on or near the vehicle, fights, police action, or removal of a passenger, must be reported to Dispatch immediately and require a written report to be completed before going off duty for the workday. All other incidents and occurrences out of the norm, no matter how slight, are to be reported to Dispatch upon return to the yard. If in doubt, err on the side of reporting it. The following are examples of incidents that must be reported: broken or cracked windows from unknown causes, cut seats, delays, passing up passengers, insufficient or excessive running time in schedule, overloads, etc. If in doubt, immediately contact dispatch.

Operators Witnessing an Accident
Operators must complete an Incident Report when they witness an accident, even though their vehicle is not involved. The report must be submitted upon return to the yard before going off duty for the workday.

Required Courtesy Cards
In the event of an accident or an incident, Operators must obtain as many Courtesy Cards as possible from passengers and persons in the immediate area of the accident or incident who may have witnessed the event. Operators must start with the passengers in the rear of the bus to obtain their names and politely request that the Courtesy Card be filled out. The Operator should say, “Would you please fill out this card? I am required to obtain these cards from all passengers who were on the bus at the time of the accident or incident.” When Courtesy Cards are returned, they are to be carefully checked for legibility.

C. Passenger Relations

All our passengers are our valued customers. Providing safe transportation services to them is the reason we are in business. The policy of First Transit is to treat our passengers and the public with dignity and respect. The relationship between First Transit employees and passengers must be strictly professional at all times. All interaction with passengers must be free from personal relationships, conversations, or conduct that could be construed as harassment, abuse, or otherwise inappropriate.

Prohibited conduct that may result in discipline, up to and including termination, includes but is not limited to:

• Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature
• Threats, abuse, coercion, or intimidation of any nature • Use of profane, abusive, or insulting language
72 • Accepting/soliciting or offering any invitations, favors, money of any kind, or gifts in violation of the Gift and Hospitality policy
• Discussing your personal life or a passenger’s personal life • Meeting or dating a passenger for personal reasons on or off duty • Physical contact that is deemed inappropriate

Customer complaints are reviewed to determine validity. When the investigation reveals that a complaint is valid, appropriate action will be taken.

State and federal regulations prohibit the operation of transit buses when passengers are forward of the white or yellow line. For the safety of our passengers, all Operators must enforce this regulation.

Additional rules to provide for the comfort of our passengers include: prohibition of smoking on buses, no eating or drinking from open containers on buses, no playing loud radios or other audio or video devices, and no loud or disruptive behavior by passengers. Operators are expected to enforce these rules or to seek assistance via Dispatch if passengers do not comply.

D. Farebox Responsibilities and Procedures

Operators will be held responsible for the proper use of the farebox including deposit by passengers of the proper fare per the training provided by the Company. The Operator must ensure that proper fare media are placed in the appropriate section of the farebox. Improper use or theft of farebox money is grounds for termination.

The only fare media accepted are US coins, dollar bills, and approved tokens, and, in certain areas, transfers, tickets, and electronic fare media.

Special Fares may be in effect for students, elderly patrons, persons with disabilities, uniformed safety or police officers, and very young children. These fares may require a special ID card.

Operators are responsible to confirm the proper ID and contact Dispatch if an issue is unresolved.

When a passenger pays a special fare, the Operator must press the appropriate key on the farebox keypad, unless the electronic farebox recognizes the special fare, or record the fare in the appropriate section if a manual fare recording system is in use. The Operator must clear the farebox at the end of each line or trip and before going out of service.

The information collected from the fareboxes, or on ridership tracking forms, is used in many reports. It must be collected with as much consistency and accuracy as possible. The Operator must input all pertinent information into the farebox, or on the forms, before pull-out to ensure that passengers are counted properly.

Farebox Problems
Dispatch is to be notified immediately of any farebox problem that cannot be cleared by the operator that might inhibit the proper collection of fares. Also, farebox defects must be reported on a DVIR.

In paratransit operations, if a rider is short the fare, it must be reported for further instruction.

Tampering with the Farebox
Any form of tampering with the farebox is strictly prohibited and is grounds for termination. 73 Paying Exact Fare
Passengers are required to personally deposit the exact fare in the locked farebox, including any applicable transfer charge. An Operator is permitted to make a hand deposit for a disabled passenger unable to deposit his or her own fare.

E. Radio Communications

A radio communication system has been installed in many vehicles to provide ongoing communication between Operators and Dispatch to maintain reliable service and to respond quickly in emergency situations. If a vehicle is equipped, operators must be knowledgeable of the material in the SSSP and follow instructions on the use of the radios. Radio use must be kept to a minimum and used only for specific business related or emergency communications. Operators who need to communicate with Dispatch for non-business purposes should use an alternate form of communication.

All radio communication systems are under the jurisdiction of, and regulated by, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Certain standards of operation are required by federal law.

F. Americans with Disabilities Act

First Transit is committed to providing the highest level of transportation service to the public and our clients. To ensure that individuals with disabilities are afforded the same quality service, First Transit supports the ADA. The ADA provides guarantees in many areas, one of which is public transportation. Under the ADA public transit companies and their employees are required to follow specific guidelines. The guidelines below must be followed:

• Operators provide the same service to customers with disabilities as they provide to their able- bodied customers. There can be no difference in the service provided.

• Operators cannot require a person with a disability to travel with an attendant. A customer with a disability can have only one Personal Care Attendant (PCA). In the case of a full vehicle, if only one more person would be allowed to board, the disabled customer must be given the opportunity to ride, even if this means that the PCA would be left behind because there is not enough room for them to ride. In all cases, the person specified by the disabled person as his or her PCA, must get on the vehicle at the same location as the disabled person and they must have the identical destination as the disabled person. No fare is charged for the PCA.

• Operators shall not require individuals with disabilities to use designated priority seating if the person does not choose to do so.

• Wheelchair lifts and ramps must be cycled every day and records maintained. During the pretrip inspection of the vehicle, if all the required straps and devices are not on board, the operator must contact Dispatch for assistance before pulling from the yard. Operators must report defects and lift failures to Dispatch by the most immediate means available (e.g., radio or telephone).

• Whenever a customer with a disability must be delayed in their travel due to failure of the lift (or for any other reason), the Operator must report the situation at once to Dispatch. In all cases, 74 when a disabled person must be “left behind” at a stop for any reason, Dispatch must be notified immediately. Alternate transportation must be provided to the disabled customer if the delay will exceed more than 30 minutes.

• Operators are required to use all securement devices provided by the manufacturer (including straps, harnesses, clamps, etc.) as they were intended to be used. Customers in wheelchairs must allow the operator to secure the wheelchair or service may be denied. Operators must make every attempt to secure the wheelchair (or other mobility device) to the best of their ability.

An operator cannot deny service to the customer due to a wheelchair malfunction in which it cannot be secured. Any instance where a passenger refuses securement of their wheelchair and/or the operator being unable to secure the wheelchair must be reported immediately to dispatch prior to the operator moving the vehicle.

• Operators may recommend that customers transfer from their three or four-wheel mobility devices (such as tricycle type wheelchairs) to regular fixed seating in the vehicle. However, the Operator cannot require a disabled customer to move. If the customer chooses to move to fixed seating, the Operator must assist with making the move and the mobility device must be completely secured with tie-downs.

• Operators are required to provide assistance to the disabled customer by using the securement devices, repositioning the person’s wheelchair, storing a person’s walker or crutches, moving to a fixed seat, etc.

• Operators must permit customers, if requested, to use the lift or ramp to board and descend from the vehicle whether or not they use a wheelchair. For example, a customer using a walker or a customer with arthritis may find it impossible to negotiate the steps of the vehicle when boarding and descending. Any customers must be given the opportunity to use the lift, if they request it.

• Operators should recommend to wheelchair users that they should “back” onto the lift and ride up or down facing away from the side of the vehicle; however, the decision to drive forward or backward onto the lift rests ultimately with the customer in a wheelchair. Consideration should be given to the manufacturer’s recommendations which have to do with balance and the center of gravity of the individual in the wheelchair.

• The seatbelts and shoulder harness straps must be provided for all customers in wheelchairs.

The proper use and condition of belts and straps rests with the operator of the vehicle.

Transportation cannot be denied if restraints are missing or inoperative.

• Operators must announce stop and transfer points on fixed routes. Also, operators are required to announce stops upon the request of a customer with a disability. This action is designed to assist sight-impaired individuals. Operators must announce – outside of the bus – their route number at transfer points and bus stops serviced by other routes to assist sight-impaired customers who find it hard to read a bus destination sign. If a PA system is available Operators are also to announce major intersections, time points, and major destinations. An automated system may be utilized by Operators for these announcements.

• Operators are required to use all accessibility-related features provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle; for example, lifts, securement straps, PA systems, annunciators, etc. 75 • Customers with disabilities who have respiratory conditions that require the use of an oxygen bottle or tank must be allowed to bring the tank or bottle on board, provided that the tank or bottle can be secured.

• Operators must allow a disabled customer the necessary time it takes to board or descend from the vehicle, without comment.

• Operators of Public transport systems must attend training that includes understanding of and sensitivity to the needs of customers with disabilities. Operators must be knowledgeable about a variety of disabilities and must be trained to proficiency.

• Operators must permit service animals to board the vehicle with a customer with a disability. The term “service animal” means any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability, including, but not limited to, guiding individuals with impaired vision, alerting individuals with impaired hearing to intruders or sounds, providing minimal protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, or fetching dropped items.

• Operators must allow customers with disabilities to use all stops that are open to all customers (even if it conflicts with the operator’s own best judgment). However, if there is construction or other temporary obstacles at the stop, the Operator may choose an alternative stop.

• Whenever there is room on board, a person using a wheelchair must be allowed to board. This often means that an Operator will have to ask customers seated in the securement area to move so that the wheelchair can be secured.

• Priority seating areas and wheelchair securement areas must be labeled.

• Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Operator to report missing or damaged signs or labels on the vehicle or equipment defect sheet so that they can be replaced or repaired promptly.

• Customers in wheelchairs must be able to reach the signal for the “next stop” buzzer or bell.

Also, customers in wheelchairs must be able to see the visual sign which tells them that the “next stop” has been requested. Operators may still ask customers using wheelchairs where they want to descend (as a safety measure and for convenience of the disabled customer).

G. Required Notifications

Employees are required to notify their manager of any of the following events within the time frame stated. Failure to do so will subject the employee to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Alcohol-Related Traffic Citation or Arrest
If an employee is arrested and formally charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or is found to have excessive blood alcohol content (0.02 BAC or higher), the employee must provide notification of the event to the Company prior to the employee’s next work shift. If the situation stems from an on-the-job occurrence the employee must report the situation to his or her manager immediately.
76 An Operator or Safety Sensitive Employee formally charged with any driving violation relating to drugs or alcohol will be placed on administrative suspension without pay until the case is resolved. A conviction (for purposes of this procedure, includes a finding of guilty by a judge or jury, a plea of nolo contendere, no contest, or plea of guilty) will result in termination for a first occurrence. If the matter is reduced with no finding of guilt, the Company will evaluate the matter at the time.

Moving Violations
Employees have a duty to report to management all traffic citations and convictions (except parking violations) received before the start of the next work shift. Citations received while driving a Company vehicle must be reported immediately.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), Sections 49 CFR 383.31 (a), (b), (c), and 383.33, specify notifications. (NOTE: First Transit rules are highlighted in bold type.)

• You must notify your employer if your license is suspended, revoked, or canceled or if you are disqualified from operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV). Do this before the end of the business day following the day you receive notice of the action. First Transit requires notification before your next work shift.

• You must notify your employer of all traffic convictions. This includes those in your private automobile as well as a commercial vehicle. Notification must be in writing within thirty days of the conviction. First Transit requires notification of all citations and convictions before your next work shift.

• Under CDL requirements you must notify your State’s Department of License or Department of Motor Vehicles of all out-of-State traffic convictions. Notification must be in writing within 30 days of the conviction. First Transit requires notification of all citations and convictions before your next work shift.

The FMCSR in Section 49 CFR 383.51 defines the types of Moving Violations that may jeopardize an employee’s CDL. The first classification is “Major Offenses” while operating a CMV or non-CMV that result in a one-year or lifetime disqualification from CDL driving. For First Transit, an employee with one of these offenses will be terminated. These include:

• Being under the influence of alcohol as prescribed by State law. • Being under the influence of a controlled substance.
• Having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.04 BAC or greater while operating a CMV. • Refusing to take a drug or alcohol test as required by a State or jurisdiction under its implied consent laws or regulations as defined in the FMCSR.
• Leaving the scene of an accident.
• Using the vehicle to commit a felony, other than a felony described in the last bullet below. • Driving a CMV when, because of prior violations committed while operating a CMV, the driver’s CDL is revoked, suspended, or canceled, or the driver is disqualified from operating a CMV. • Causing a fatality through the negligent operation of a CMV, including but not limited to the crimes of motor vehicle manslaughter, homicide by motor vehicle and negligent homicide. • Using the vehicle in the commission of a felony involving manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing a controlled substance (lifetime disqualification). 77 The FMCSR further defines “Serious Traffic Violations” (while operating a CMV or while operating a non-CMV if the conviction results in the revocation, cancellation, or suspension of the holder’s license or non-CMV driving privileges) that, for the second violation of any combination of offenses listed below within a three-year period, will result in disqualification from CDL driving for 60 days.

Further disciplinary action, up to and including termination may result should a driver receive a serious traffic violation as defined by FMCSR.

These include:

• Speeding excessively, involving any speed of 15 miles per hour or more above the posted speed limit.
• Driving recklessly, as defined by State or local law or regulation including, but not limited to, offenses of driving a commercial motor vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.
• Making improper or erratic traffic lane changes.
• Following the vehicle ahead too closely.
• Violating State or local law relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation) arising in connection with a fatal accident.
• Driving a CMV without obtaining a CDL.
• Driving a CMV without a CDL in the driver’s possession. • Driving a CMV without the proper class of CDL and/or endorsements for the specific vehicle group being operated or for the passengers or type of cargo being transported.

The FMCSR does not specifically address other lesser levels of moving violations. However, to maintain the highest standards of safety for our passengers, our employees, and the public, First Transit holds its employees accountable for all moving violations, including those defined by the FMCSR as “Major” and “Serious.” First Transit reserves the right to set standards higher than the FMCSR.

The employee is responsible for any traffic ticket or citation received while operating or in possession of a Company vehicle. Any related fines not promptly paid may be deducted from the employee’s paycheck, in accordance with applicable laws.

H. Discipline for Traffic Violations and Preventable Accidents

Although employment may be terminated at-will by either the employee or the Company at any time in accordance with applicable law, without following any formal system of discipline or warning, we may exercise discretion to utilize forms of discipline that are less severe than termination. The Company reserves the right to determine which type of disciplinary action to issue in response to any type of traffic violation or preventable accident, up to and including termination of employment.

Although the Company maintains the right to determine what form of disciplinary action to take concerning any type of traffic violation or preventable accident, the company may decide to follow the following forms of discipline for such incidents:

78 Please note that any combination of the violations below that qualifies as “two in 12-months” or “three in 36-months” will result in the appropriate discipline level. By way of example, one moving violation and one preventable within a rolling 12-month period may result in termination, or two moving violations and one preventable within 36 months may result in termination. Moving violations that occurred prior to the employee’s employment date are not exempt from this policy.

Accidents
Any collision that occurs while an Operator is on duty must be reported and will be investigated by Safety to determine preventability or non-preventability. The goal of the investigation is to improve safety and prevent future collisions. Preventability decisions may be appealed to the location’s Accident Review Committee.

Some safety violations are of such a serious nature that termination is appropriate for the first offense. Some examples include:
• Failure to properly secure wheelchairs or other mobility devices • Cell phone use while operating a Company vehicle
• Rollaway vehicles due to failure to properly secure a vehicle • Colliding into the rear-end of another vehicle or stationary object • Striking a Pedestrian
• Hitting an object or another vehicle when moving a vehicle in reverse. On the street, the operator must first call in before backing; if at a Company location the operator must “get out and look” (GOAL) and seek assistance as appropriate
79 • Running a red light or stop sign, or entering a railroad crossing when the lights are flashing, or the crossing arm is down or descending
• Failure to perform proper lock out/tag out procedures, or ignoring or removing a lock, tag, or signage without specific authorization
• Smoking in hazardous areas
• Violation of any safety policy or practice, or violation of operating policies or procedures that could put an employee or others in imminent danger or could result in bodily injury or damage to Company property

80 Section 11
Medicaid Fraud, Waste, and Abuse

A. Fraud and Abuse

First Transit provides both ADA Paratransit services and Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) services. These two Demand Response services are often mixed together at a single location and may use similar vehicles. However, NEMT services come with unique regulatory compliance issues and a heightened concerned for potential Fraud, Waste and Abuse.

NEMT services help individuals get to needed medical appointments or services. These trips are always medically related and almost always paid for by public healthcare funds like Medicaid or Medicare. Public healthcare funds come with a heavy dose of regulations, documentation requirements and billing restrictions.

Why all the rules? Because public funds are our tax dollars at work. It’s estimated that healthcare fraud wastes of $60 billion dollars every year. First Transit has policies and procedures in place to help identify and prevent potential Fraud, Waste and Abuse in NEMT services.

Client and First Transit are extremely concerned about fraudulent, abusive and inappropriate use of Medicaid covered transportation both on the part of providers and Participants, including:

• Transportation of ineligible riders;
• Trips to non-covered Medicaid services;
• Charges by providers for more miles than the actual trip distance; • Multiple trips where only one is necessary, such as for two round trips when a three-legged trip is appropriate for two appointments on the same day;
• Transportation in an ambulance or wheelchair-accessible vehicle when client’s medical needs do not warrant such level of transportation;
• Billing for trips that never occur; and
• Gratuities or other types of inducements to clients or others acting on behalf of clients for any purpose.

SECTION 11
Medicaid Fraud,
Waste, and Abuse
81 First Transit’s policy prohibiting fraud, waste and abuse applies to all our employees as well as all our business partners. This policy includes the following:
• We will not knowingly take any action or failing to take any action that could result in an unauthorized benefit to the First, its employees, its subcontractors, its vendors or to a Participant.
• We commit to preventing, detecting, investigating and reporting potential fraud and abuse occurrences, and shall assist Clients and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in preventing and prosecuting fraud and abuse in the non-emergency medical transportation program.
• We acknowledge that the Office of Inspector General has the authority to impose civil monetary penalties on individuals and entities that submit false and fraudulent claims related to the non- emergency medical transportation program.
• We will immediately notify a manager, Compliance, HR, Legal or the Ethics & Compliance Line when potential fraud or abuse by a Participant or a transportation provider exists, including, but not limited to the following situations:
o False statements, misrepresentations, concealment, failure to disclose and conversion of benefits;
o Any giving or seeking of kickbacks, rebates or similar remuneration; o Charging or receiving reimbursement more than that provided under the relevant Contact; o False statements or misrepresentation made by a provider, subcontractor or Participant to qualify for the non-emergency medical transportation program.

First Transit’s Healthcare Fraud, Waste and Abuse Policy is one of several policies which support our company’s ethical culture. It provides specific guidance regarding the standards which we are required to uphold in connection with detecting, correcting, and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse.

A full copy of First Transit’s policy may be found on the Employee Portal. Among other things, this policy describes the steps we will take to prevent the occurrence of fraud, waste and abuse and the actions we will take if our standards are not met.

Some of First Transit’s prevention and detection procedures include:
• Pre-trip screenings to verify rider eligibility and verify the trip is to an approved healthcare provider;
• Requirement that all individuals providing service, from drivers to office staff, have been screened against the OIG exclusion database prior to providing service and on monthly basis thereafter;
• Requiring pre-authorization and unique trip identifiers for trips; • Data analysis to identify fraudulent patterns and trips; • Gate keeping mechanisms to ensure trips are performed by eligible drivers in certified vehicles; • Active management of network providers to ensure trips are performed in compliance with contract requirements.

First Transit has zero tolerance for the commission or concealment of acts of fraud, waste or abuse, and such acts will not be tolerated. We also require our business partners to uphold a similar commitment to ethical conduct and assure that they, their employees, and downstream entities who support our business also comply with the guiding principles outlined First Transit’s Healthcare Fraud, Waste and Abuse Policy. Employees or contractors are required to report any suspicions or knowledge of fraud, waste or abuse or any activity that may violate any of the laws above.

82 Additionally, employees and contractors must cooperate in all investigation, whether by First Transit or by any governmental agency, as required by law.

B. Healthcare Fraud and Abuse Laws

First Transit is committed to complying with applicable federal and state fraud & abuse laws and with the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which requires written policies and procedures to inform employees, contractors and agents about federal and state false claims and whistleblower laws.

Below are some of the more prominent fraud and abuse laws. Additional information can be found in First Transit’s Healthcare Fraud, Waste and Abuse Policy on the Employee Portal.

C. False Claim Laws

Federal False Claims Act 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729 - 3733
The federal False Claims Act (FCA) prohibits any person or entity from knowingly submitting, causing to be submitted or presenting a false claim to any federal employee or agency for payment or approval, such as a claim for reimbursement from Medicare or Medicaid. The FCA also prohibits any person or entity from knowingly making or using a false record or statement to obtain approval of a claim for reimbursement. Examples of false claims include:

• Billing for services not provided;
• Billing for mileage when a patient was not in the vehicle; • Billing for services that are not documented;
• Falsifying a driver’s qualifications on the driver’s record; • Billing for transportation to a non-medical destination, such as a grocery store; • Submitting duplicate claims for the same service;
• Inaccurate or incorrect coding of the services provided; • Failing to report overpayments or credit balances; or • Participating in violations of the Anti-Kickback Law.

“Knowingly” means a person has actual knowledge of the information, acts in deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information, or acts in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the information. A violation of the FCA does not require proof of a specific intent to defraud.

A “claim” includes any request or demand for money or property to the federal government or to a federal contractor, grantee or other recipient, if any portion of the requested money or property is funded by or will be reimbursed by the federal government, such as the Medicaid program.

A person or entity that violates the FCA will be subject to the following:

• Civil monetary penalties ranging from $10,781.00 to $23,563.00 for each false claim submitted; • A fine of 3 times the amount of the damages sustained by the federal government; and • Exclusion from participation in federal health care programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.

The FCA includes qui tam or whistleblower provisions, which allow any person with actual knowledge of allegedly false claims to file a lawsuit on behalf of the federal government. These 83 persons are referred to in the FCA as “relators.” The relator must file his/her lawsuit on behalf of the government in a federal district court. The lawsuit must be filed “under seal,” which means that it is kept confidential while the government is reviewing and investigating the allegations in the lawsuit and deciding how to proceed.

If the federal government determines that the lawsuit has merit and decides to intervene, the U.S.

Department of Justice will handle prosecution of the case. If the government decides not to intervene, the relator can continue with the lawsuit on his/her own. The government may intervene later upon a showing of good cause.

Depending on whether the federal government intervenes, or the relator pursues the case on his/her own and if the lawsuit is successful, the relator may receive a percentage of the award or settlement, depending on the relator’s contribution to the case. The relator will also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses, attorney’s fees and costs.

In a case pursued by the relator without the government, if the court finds the defendant not guilty and the relator’s claim frivolous, the court may require the relator to reimburse the defendant’s reasonable costs and attorney’s fees.

If the court finds that the relator planned and initiated the violation upon which the lawsuit is based, the court may reduce the relator’s share. If the relator is convicted of criminal conduct, the relator will be dismissed from the lawsuit and will not receive any reward.

The FCA protects employees who are involved in a qui tam lawsuit, such as filing a lawsuit, investigating a false claim, providing testimony or assisting with the lawsuit. An employee who has been terminated, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed or in any way discriminated against by his/her employer because of the employee’s involvement in a false claims disclosure will be entitled to all relief necessary to make the employee whole, including:

• Reinstatement with the same seniority that the employee would have had but for the discrimination;
• 2 times the amount of back pay plus interest; and
• Compensation for any special damages sustained because of the discrimination, including litigation costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.

State False Claims Act
Many states have state false claims acts as well. This includes: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. Additional details about these state’s false claims acts can be found in First Transit’s Healthcare Fraud, Waste and Abuse Policy on the Employee Portal.

84 D. Fraud and Abuse Laws

Federal Anti-Kickback Statute 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b
The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits any person from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or paying anything of value, directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, to a person or entity in return for furnishing, referring, ordering or recommending any item or service for which payment may be made in whole or in part by a federal health care program, such as Medicare or Medicaid. This is a criminal statute and requires proof of intent for a violation.

Violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a felony and will subject the violator to the following penalties for each violation:

• A fine of up to $25,000;
• Imprisonment for up to 5 years;
• Administrative civil monetary penalties of up to $50,000; • Exposure to False Claims Act liability for claims submitted; and • Exclusion from participation in federal and state health care programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Civil Monetary Penalties Law 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7a
The federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law (“CMPL”) imposes additional penalties on any one who knowingly presents a claim to a federal or state officer, employee or agency if:

• The claim is for a service that the person knows or should know was not provided as claimed; • The claim is for a service and the person knows or should know that the claim is false or fraudulent;
• The claim is for a service provided by a person who was excluded from participating in any federal health care program, such as Medicare or Medicaid, at the time the service was provided;
• The claim is for a pattern of services that the person knows or should know are not medically necessary;
• The person offers or gives something of value to a Medicare or Medicaid patient that the person knows or should know is likely to induce the patient to order or receive services for which Medicare or Medicaid pays;
• The person knows of any overpayment from the Medicare or Medicaid program and does not return the overpayment within the time period required by law; or • The service or arrangement for services violates the federal Anti-Kickback Statute.

Penalties under the CMPL range from fines of $10,000 per service to $50,000 per violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute and include exclusion from participating in any federal or state health care program.

Administrative Remedies for False Claims 31 U.S.C. §§ 3801-3812 Under this federal law, a federal agency may impose penalties on a person who makes, presents or submits a claim or written statement:

• That the person knows or has reason to know is false, fictitious or fraudulent; 85 • That includes or is supported by any written statement asserting a material fact that is false, fictitious or fraudulent or omitting a material fact; or • That is for the provision of property or services that have not been provided.

Proof of specific intent to defraud is not necessary for a violation of this law.

The penalties for violation of this federal law are a civil penalty of up to $5,000 for each claim or statement and an assessment of twice the amount of the false, fraudulent or fictitious claim.

Health Care Fraud Statute 18 U.S.C. § 1347
This federal criminal statute imposes criminal penalties on an individual who knowingly and willfully executes or attempts to execute a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program (not just Medicare or Medicaid) or a scheme to obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises, any money or property owned or controlled by a health care benefit program in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care services.

Violation of this law may result in criminal fines and/or the following prison terms:

• Up to 10 years for a violation;
• Up to 20 years if the violation results in serious bodily injury; or • Any number of years to life if the violation resulted in death.

State Fraud & Abuse Laws
Many states have state fraud and abuse laws as well. Additional details about these state’s false claims acts can be found in First Transit’s Healthcare Fraud, Waste and Abuse Policy on the Employee Portal.

E. Duty to Report Wrongdoing

First Transit is committed to investigating all good faith claims of wrongdoing so that corrective action may be taken. To that purpose, First Transit encourages any employee, contractor or vendor to report wrongdoing or illegal acts to your First Transit’s Manager so long as they are not believed to be involved in the fraud, waste or abuse being reported. Management within First Transit will ensure the matter is reported to Group Security and the First Transit will investigate and take appropriate steps to correct the wrongdoing or potential violation.

Alternatively, reports may be made anonymously using the FGA Ethics & Compliance line at

1.877.3CALLFG,
(1.877.322.5534) or by emailing [email protected]. You may also contact the Healthcare Compliance Officer directly:

Jessica Hylander
Director of Healthcare Compliance
First Transit, Inc.
600 Vine Street, Suite 1400
Cincinnati, OH 45202
[email protected]
86 Self-reporting is also encouraged. Anyone who reports his/her own violation will receive due consideration regarding disciplinary action that may be taken.

Upon a report of a violation, First Transit will investigate to determine the nature, scope and duration of the violation, if any. If it is determined that there was a violation, First Transit will develop a plan for corrective action. First Transit strictly forbids any retaliation or discrimination against anyone who makes a good faith report of a violation or cooperates in an investigation. If an employee or contractor believes that an adverse action in the form of retaliation or discrimination has been taken against him/her as a result of making a report of a violation, the employee or contractor should report the retaliation or discrimination to your First Transit’s Manager if not involved in the suspected retaliation/retribution or you may report it using FGA’s hotline.

Anyone who makes a report of a violation maliciously, frivolously or in bad faith will be subject to disciplinary action, including termination.

First Transit’s accident procedures are used when responding to:
• Vehicle-involved collisions
• Passenger, customer, or employee accidents and injuries • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Fixed-objects accidents (curbs, tree limbs, signs, etc.).

All supervisors attend a training module on Accident Investigation Procedures and Documentation. This provides supervisors with the information needed to properly gather and document all of the facts relevant to an investigation, and to ensure that the driver complies with USDOT, First Transit, and <<clientShort>> policies. Supervisors are also trained on how to secure the vehicles involved in an accident, judging whether or not to return vehicles to immediate service, and effective coordination with all key operations personnel.

ACCIDENT NOTIFICATION COMMUNICATION TREE

DRIVER RESPONSIBILITY AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE
First Transit’s drivers are trained on how to respond in accidents to ensure the safety of their passengers and the accuracy of the information reported to the police and to <<clientShort>>.

First Transit’s drivers are trained to not respond to any media requests or discuss the accident with anyone except First Transit supervisors, company insurance adjusters, or emergency personnel. They make no agreements, settlements, or commitments and cooperate with police to ensure the safe resolution of the event.

DISPATCHER RESPONSIBILITIES
Accident documentation packet must be completed and turned into the supervisor before the shift is completed. Dispatcher on Duty must document the following:

ROAD SUPERVISOR RESPONSE AND DOCUMENTATION
When responding to any road call or accident, the road supervisor is required to have the following kit while working on the scene:
• Accident reporting documents
• Writing instruments
• Paper
• Clipboard
• Camera, extra film, batteries, digital
storage media (if applicable)
• Tape measure
• Flashlight
• Safety triangles, safety vest, jacket
• Seatbelt cutters, seatbelt extensions
• Blood borne pathogen and first-aid
supplies
The following procedures are completed by the first-responding supervisor:

First Transit’s supervisors do not make an on-scene determination of whether the accident was reportable or non-reportable. The reports filed by the road supervisor, driver, and dispatcher as well as any other reports from law enforcement and insurance are evaluated to make this determination.

CUSTOMER INJURY CLAIM PROCESS
The steps we take to investigate any accidents or injuries greatly help the Customer Injury Claim Process. Our goal is simple – to make the claimant whole, while neither under- compensating nor over-compensating the claimant. To do this, we must have timely, accurate fact gathering during and after the incident for consideration during the claim.

The following is critical for processing customer injury claims:

Approach the Operator
•Check for injuries and
apply first aid if necessary
•Determine whether or not
drug and alcohol testing
is required or appropriate,
using the Post Accident
Testing Decision Maker
Talk with Investigating
Authorities
•Identify self to authorities
•Obtain investigating
officer’s name and badge
number
•Cooperate fully with
police and emergency
personnel
Assist Driver in Data
Collection
•Take pictures of the
accident scene
•Make a sketch of the
scene
•Make notes of any skid
marks, debris, or other
evidence of the accident
•Make notes of injuries
including names,
addresses, and phone
numbers of those
involved
• Gather scene reports from responding police, courtesy cards, insurance information, the First Transit road supervisor, and the safety manager.
• Provide the injured customer or the customer’s representative contact information for authorized First Transit staff and risk managers. This includes providing the director of safety’s business card with name, address, email and phone number, and the direct toll- free line to First Transit claims representatives.
• Report the accident and claim to our claims web site or by calling.

Our dedicated First Transit office for bodily injury, general liability, property damage and subrogation claims can also be of assistance.

Quick Reference Articles
10: F521 PM History
The F521 PM History evaluates PM WOs completed within the date span of the report to determine if the PM WO was completed Early, On Time, Late or if No Previous PM could be found. ● The report evaluates completed PM WOs generated by Maintenance Patterns only. ● The report determines the previous PM completed for the same unit on the same Maintenance Pattern to make the comparison.
● The report evaluates Maintenance Patterns that use the WO type: Preventative Maintenance. ● The report relies on the tolerance (+/-) being set on each Maintenance Pattern. If the tolerances are not set then the report will indicate that No Previous PM is found.

Report Output
Summary
The report summarizes the total of PM WOs that meet the conditions stated above. The tolerances on the Maintenance Pattern determine which category the PM WO falls into.

Detail
● The Reporting Group information is based on the PM WO department. ● Information is then pulled from the completed PM WO.
● Performance is the system calculating the days or miles (or other meters) from the previous PM WO completed for the same unit in the same Maintenance Pattern. ● The Maintenance Pattern and interval information is listed as the starting point for evaluating the PM WO. ● The tolerances are pulled from the Maintenance Pattern. ● The early and late points are the calculation of the Maintenance Pattern tolerance and the PM interval. ● The last column of the report Status shows the report evaluation of the PM WO.

Report Prompts
● Sub Title: enter a simple title that will be displayed on the printed report. Leave blank for no title. ● Organization, Department, Maintenance Pattern are all determined by the information on the PM WO. ● Maintenance OpCo, Maintenance Div, Maintenance Reg, and Report Group are determined by the PM WO department.
