MOCK DISASTER TRAINING

On Wednesday, May 12, 2010 a retired bus will be staged at USU to simulate a bus rollover and emergency disaster scenario. The Cache Valley Transit District (CVTD) along with USU Aggie Shuttle and Parking Services are sponsoring a spring conference for the Utah Urban Rural and Specialized Transportation Association on May 13, 14, 2010. The two day draining will include a mock bus rollover for emergency response and evacuation, fire extinguisher training and a driver simulator.

With support from the Logan City Fire Department, USU Fire, and the Cache County Sherriff’s office, transportation agencies statewide will receive professional training to assist them in the event of a disaster.

URSTA is a statewide organization with membership comprised of over 45 transportation related agencies by providing training, education, advocacy and networking for transit providers and their employees in Utah and surrounding states.
