Company earns Remarkable
Results Award for leadership in driver training
LogistiCare, the nation’s largest non-emergency medical
transportation (NEMT) broker, today announced it has been honored
with the Remarkable Results Award presented by the National Safety
Council (NSC). LogistiCare was recognized at the annual Defensive
Driving Course (DDC) Award Ceremony at the 2017 NSC Congress and
Expo in Indianapolis.
“Safety is extremely important to us and this award supports
what we hold true and value and that is the wellbeing of our
members,” said Jeff Felton, LogistiCare CEO. “It’s rewarding to be
continually recognized for our proactive efforts by one of the
nation’s foremost independent safety organizations.”
The award is given to DDC Training Centers that lead the
industry in helping develop safer drivers. This marks the fifth
consecutive year the company has been recognized by the NSC for
leadership in driver training. LogistiCare is the only NEMT broker
to be recognized by the NSC.
"LogistiCare has an impressive record providing transportation
providers with lifesaving vehicle operating skills through our NSC
Defensive Driving Courses,” said James A. Solomon, program director
for Defensive Driving Courses at the National Safety Council.
Gordon McInnis, safety director at LogistiCare, accepted the
award on behalf of the company.
“The NSC pioneered driver safety training more than 50 years ago
and the training programs they have created are unrivaled in
helping reduce risk and promoting safety on our roadways,” he said.
“The nationally accredited training course that we subsidize for
our transportation providers is the most comprehensive program for
tens of thousands of NEMT drivers throughout the nation.”
Past LogistiCare NSC recognitions include:
2012 - DDC Best Performance Award: Presented to the DDC Training
Center whose accomplishments far exceeded other training centers in
their group.
2013 - DDC Trend Setter Award: Presented to DDC Training Centers
that work to develop as many safe drivers as possible.
2014 - DDC Powerful Performance Award: Presented to DDC Training
Centers that consistently achieve high levels of performance.
2015 and 2016 - DDC Remarkable Results Award: Presented to DDC
Training Centers that remarkably lead their field in developing
safer drivers on our roadways.
The NSC defensive driving program is just one of many
credentialing standards and protocols LogistiCare’s transportation
providers must complete. The company’s stringent, safe driver
program also includes instruction in first aid, passenger
assistance and sensitivity training.
“Clients choose to work with us because they know there is a
consistent application of leading safety protocols,” McInnis added.
“Our adherence to these standards gives our members confidence
knowing they will experience reliable, safe transportation on a
daily basis.”
