The party responsible for transportation is also liable in the case of an accident. It is preferred that students use public transportation for their work-based learning activities.
Public transportation ensures liability coverage for the students while in transit.
If the school is transporting the student, then normal school bus coverage applies. Individuals transporting students must carry additional insurance. A program may require that students sign an agreement at the beginning of a work-based learning program that they are responsible for their own transportation and that the school is not liable in the case of accident. The student's own insurance would apply. There are no geographic restrictions on where a student's work-based learning activity may occur.
