This arrangement was very beneficial in terms of communication between the drivers. However, in recent years it has been difficult for this fraternity to supply drivers. Vans are now driven by both men and women primarily from WPI, but there are some Clark students who drive the vans as well. The system is overseen by two student managers. They are responsible for selecting drivers, setting up the driving schedule, and coordinating the maintenance of the vehicles.
Drivers go through a thorough training program.
They also listen to speakers who talk about safety, liability, communications, and customer service. A driver's manual is also given to each driver. All drivers are required to participate in a class instructed at the Central Massachusetts Safety Council in West Boylston. The Consortium shuttles provide a valuable service to the college community. Students and faculty should consider the advantages of utilizing this service.
