If you live in a gated community, you must add JKT to your visitor list to facilitate picking up and dropping off your child(ren).
Children must be ready to board the shuttle when it arrives to pick them up to ensure all passengers get to their destinations on time. As a courtesy, we will notify you if our shuttles are running more than 30 minutes behind schedule.
If your child is absent, you must contact JKT by phone or text 786-327-2593 at least four (4) hours prior to school dismissal. This will allow us to facilitate the pickup process without delays.
JKT is not liable for any items left on our shuttles; however, we keep a Lost and Found Log. Call 786-327-2593 if you suspect an item has been left on our shuttle. Items not claimed by the end of the year will be donated to Goodwill.
Any child that sits in the front seat of a shuttle must meet the age requirement as posted in the vehicle and be authorized on the Registration Form (10+ only).
Employees of JKT are not authorized to escort children to the bathroom or anywhere outside of the shuttle. Children should decide to use the bathroom facilities before the shuttle arrives.
After your registration with JKT is complete, authorization must be given to the school to allow for us to pick up your child(ren).
To preserve the quality of our service, we reserve the right to terminate shuttle rides for disruptive children. Inappropriate behavior, rowdiness or bullying will not be tolerated. Make sure your child(ren) has read and understand the JKT Road Rules at the end of this Agreement.
DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE
For morning pickups, children are allocated three (3) minutes to get on the shuttle before departing. Children should be waiting INSIDE at least ten minutes prior to the scheduled Shuttle arrival time.
In the afternoons, children MUST be ready to enter the shuttle five (5) minutes after the final bell rings. If a child misses the shuttle, you will automatically be charged a $15.00 return trip fee for the shuttle to go back to the location to pick up your child. The return of the shuttle to the school is NOT GUARANTEED and is based on shuttle availability. If the route does not allow for the shuttle to return to the school, the parent will be responsible for the child’s transportation. No refunds will be provided.
For door-to-door clients, Jab Kids Transportation’ NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND POLICY guarantees the driver will wait for the child to enter the home, school, or facility before departing. JKT does not assume any responsibility for delivering children to homes that are unattended by an adult. If for whatever reason the Child is unable to enter the home, school, or facility, you will be contacted to provide an alternate drop-off location. Additional fees will apply.
