Unscheduled Vehicle Maintenance <br /> First Transit will ensure all maintenance is performed to meet manufacturer's specification. (See <br /> Attachment 3, Vehicle/Wheelchair Lift Maintenance Request) <br /> DAILY INSPECTION <br /> Pre/Post-Trip inspections are crucial to the success of each transit system's Preventative Maintenance <br /> Program. Each driver will inspect his or her vehicle before leaving the parking lot by completing the Pre-Trip <br /> Vehicle Inspection Form. The completed checklist must be submitted to the Lead Driver at the end of the <br /> driver's shift to maintain a record of inspections. At the end of each driver's assigned shift, the driver must <br /> also complete a Post-trip Inspection Sheet, found on the back of the Pre-trip Inspection Sheet. Drivers must <br /> sign each Pre-trip and Post-trip checklist for each vehicle used that day. The Lead Driver will review each <br /> Pre-trip and Post-Trip inspection sheets daily, schedule any required or necessary maintenance, and sign off <br /> on each sheet. (See Attachment 4, Pre/Post-Trip Checklist) <br /> = MANAGEMENT REVIEWS <br /> There must be an effective mechanism to monitor and document the contractor's maintenance <br /> activities. An acceptable program would consist of periodic written reports on maintenance activities <br /> submitted by the contractor to the grantee, supplemented by periodic inspections by the grantee. The <br /> grantee must provide oversight in order to verify the contractor's compliance with FTA and NCDOT <br /> regulations and policies. <br /> 441Page <br />
