Make a difference on Day One

Join Span and make a real difference in your neighborhood! We’re a small, mission-driven non-profit dedicated to connecting Denton County neighbors—older adults, people with disabilities, veterans, and others—to medical appointments, groceries, and essential services. When you drive with us, you’re not just giving a ride—you’re helping someone stay connected, independent, and cared for.

About the Role: As a Span Driver, you’ll operate our buses, high-roof vans, and minivans to provide safe, non-emergency rides for neighbors across Denton County—to medical appointments, grocery trips, and other essential destinations. You’ll work a route-based schedule and deliver warm, reliable service at every stop. Because this is a safety-sensitive position, employment includes routine DOT/FTA-required screenings, training, and certifications to keep you—and our riders—safe.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review routes and assignments using an Android-based application, clarifying any questions with Dispatch.
• Complete and document pre-trip and post-trip inspections of assigned vehicles, ensuring compliance with Span’s policies and procedures.
• Notify supervisors of any mechanical issues immediately following the shift or sooner if they pose a risk.
• Maintain fuel levels and keep vehicles clean and litter-free.
• Follow assigned schedules and communicate regularly with Dispatch about service status, breaks, vehicle issues, and passenger-related incidents.
• Use a two-way radio professionally and in accordance with FCC regulations.
• Comply with local, state, and federal traffic regulations.
• Assist ambulatory and wheelchair passengers with boarding and exiting the vehicle.
• Provide courteous service to clients, assisting with parcels or special needs as necessary.
• Regulate heating, lighting, and ventilation for passenger comfort.
• Collect and handle fares responsibly.
• Participate in training and meetings as required.
