Can a contractor work as a driver for Adult Day Center?

I am interesting if it is possible contractor to drive a small bus for Adult Day Center to transport elderly people from home to the center and to the different activities.

First, you'd probably have to have a commercial driver's license.

Second, you'd probably have to apply to the local transit authority which owns the buses, and may either contract them to the local senior center or have some other type of sharing arrangement.

Third, you may have to take a course or some training in operating the lifts and learn how to manage wheelchairs.

Fourth, you could contact the specific Adult Day Center for which you want to work and ask them if (a) they need drivers, and (b) what the qualifications are.

Fifth, thank you on behalf of others who need these kinds of transportation services for your interest in serving this special population!
