u1 Drug Alcohol and Abuse Program Element: The goal is to provide a safe, healthy and productive drug -free work environment for all employees. A person being under the influence of a drug or alcohol while on the job poses serious safety and health risk to the user, co- workers as- well -as passengers. County of Lee Transit System has established a policy of a drug -free work environment. A standard of zero tolerance for use of alcohol, illegal substances, or the misuse of prescription medications during work hours or the presence of these substances in the body during work hours regardless of when consumed. Random drug test will be administered. Vehicle Maintenance Element: The goal is to ensure vehicles, wheelchair lifts and equipment are properly maintained to maximize the service life, maintain reliability, mitigate high maintenance costs and sustain proper safety and mechanical condition. To accomplish this goal we will at least adhere to the manufacturer's recommended minimum maintenance/service requirements. Security Element: The overall purpose of the Security Program is to optimize -- within the constraints of time, cost, and operational effectiveness -- the level of protection afforded to vehicles, equipment, facilities, passengers, employees, volunteers and contractors, and any other individuals who come into contact with the system both during normal operations and under emergency conditions. The security of passengers and employees is paramount to promoting the objectives of FTA and NCDOT. We will take all reasonable and prudent actions to minimize the risk associated with intentional acts against passengers, employees and equipment/facilities. To further this objective, we have developed security plans and procedures and emergency response plans and procedures. The plans have been coordinated with Iocal law enforcement, emergency services and with other regional transit providers, which addresses the conduct of exercises in support of their emergency plans, and assessment of critical assets and measures to protect these assets. The SSPP will be updated as changes occur. An annual review is required to ensure all information is current. The annual review and updates must be adopted by the board and certified by NCDOT /PTD. This operational policy was adopted by the Lee County Board of Commissioner. Date Month Year System Manager (Signature) Governing Board Chairman (Signature) 12/10/13 General Info APPENDIX l.doc 6
