Keep the wheels turning. Get every kid there safely — and keep HRCS in full compliance with the State. HRCS needs one reliable, safety-minded person to own student transportation end to end — driving and maintaining our Ford Transit vans, setting and running the daily routes, keeping the fleet road-ready, and meeting every Colorado Department of Education (CDE) requirement. Because HRCS operates across two campuses and mountain terrain, this role keeps students moving safely between home, school, and the places learning happens. This is a hands-on, part-time role: the Transportation Director both drives and manages. They are the single owner of route logistics, fleet upkeep, accurate recordkeeping, and transportation compliance, working closely with site staff and families to keep everything running smoothly and audit-ready.

Conduct and document a pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspection before and after every route, and flag any issue promptly. Communicate clearly and proactively with families about routes, timing, delays, and changes.
