Extra Trips Clause Samples
The 'Extra Trips' clause defines the terms under which additional journeys or services beyond the original agreement are handled. Typically, this clause specifies how extra trips are requested, approved, and billed, such as requiring written authorization and outlining the applicable rates or charges for these additional services. Its core function is to ensure both parties have a clear understanding of the process and costs associated with any services that exceed the initial scope, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring fair compensation.

Extra Trips. All trips other than regular runs or supplemental runs shall be awarded to drivers according to the following procedures:
9.7.1 All extra trips shall be assigned in compliance with the following section of this Agreement; provided, however, that no driver shall be eligible to work more than forty (40) hours in any workweek, exclusive of hours worked on Saturday or Sunday, when another eligible driver is available and would not be put into overtime.
9.7.2 Assignment of extra trips shall be made on the basis of a “Trip Board.” The most senior driver who signs up for the extra trip shall be awarded the trip. No driver may give up any extra trip or supplemental run or regular run previously awarded in order to take an extra trip, if Section 9.7.1 above would be violated. There shall be no pre-empting of regular runs by drivers who wish to take extra trips.
9.7.3 Trips are to be dated as they are received by the Transportation Office. All extra trips shall be awarded to the most senior appropriate driver signing the “Trip Board.” If the extra trip is posted before a driver’s regular run clock-out time, the driver has until the driver’s next regular run clock-in time to reply. If there is no reply, the dispatcher shall assign the extra trip to the next senior driver on the sign-up sheet.
9.7.4 Drivers shall not be eligible for extra trips during periods of absence due to illness. Drivers absent for personal illness on the last working day before a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday trip shall not be eligible to drive such trip and will lose his/her turn on the list until the process begins anew. Drivers absent for other reasons will be able to drive such trips provided they contact the Transportation Office by 3:30 p.m. on the last working day prior to the scheduled trip to verify their availability and confirm the start time of the trip.
9.7.5 The dispatch book shall be made available for driver viewing by the Transportation Office.
Extra Trips. A. The Transportation Supervisor will post all trips that can be claimed by regular and vehicle drivers. All posted trip tickets shall indicate the date of posting. Trip tickets will be posted on Friday after 2:00 p.m. and awarded the following Friday after 2:00 p.m. Trip tickets posted will be for Wednesday through Tuesday of the proceeding week of the Friday award.
B. Extra trips will be assigned in the following order:
1. Regular drivers based on classification seniority; then
2. Vehicle drivers with a CDL based on classification seniority; then
3. Available members with a CDL; then
4. Substitutes outside the bargaining unit. Effective November 1, 1997, vehicle drivers hired with a CDL license will be placed at the bottom of the board in seniority order. They shall have the right to extra trips behind bus drivers. All vehicle drivers presently on the board will be grandfathered in their present seniority spot.
C. No driver may accept a trip whose estimated time would cause him/her to work for the Board of Education more than forty (40) hours in any one week. When a driver provides training to other drivers, the time required to provide the training shall be counted toward the forty (40) hour limit per week. If bidding on two trips within the same day, the trips must have a 2-hour separation between estimated return time on the first trip and estimated leave time on the second trip. Exceptions may be made by the Administration when the trip is shuttling classes to an event. For situations in which the Administration has decided to award overtime, the Transportation Supervisor will create a list of drivers interested in working overtime and he/she will distribute the available overtime on a rotating basis, as referenced in Section 13.05. All drivers will have the opportunity to inform the Transportation Supervisor of their intent to be included on the list. A driver may ask to be included on the list or removed from the list at any point during the year. The list to be used for the rotating basis will be distributed to drivers by the Transportation Supervisor on the first student day of school each year and then upon any change that occurs throughout the year. Situations that are described in Section 13.04 H are exempt from the rotating basis described above.
D. No driver may be excused from his/her regular run to accept an extra trip, except an eight (8) hour or longer trip. Drivers on overnight trips will be guaranteed at least eight (8) hours pay for t...
Extra Trips. A. Field trips (extra trips) shall be provided by rotation on a list composed of regular drivers who volunteer in descending order of classification seniority (defined in Article 39).
B. Extra trips shall be posted upon receipt by the Transportation Supervisor. The time-stamped sheet for each posted trip shall be available to employees for inspection.
C. When an extra trip/field trip is received by the Transportation Supervisor less than one (1) hour before the departure time, the Transportation Supervisor may use his/her discretion in making the assignment.
D. All trips less than one (1) hour will go to the driver who can take it. This trip is not part of the rotation and is assigned at the discretion of the Transportation Supervisor.
E. Seniority rotation lists shall be utilized in the following categories:
(1) Regular Trips - trips that do not interfere with employees’ other jobs in the District
(2) Pick-up trips
(3) Saturday-Sunday trips
(4) Special Trips – scheduled to depart during regular P.M. bus route times
(5) Day Trips – trips that occur only between 8:40 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
F. When any extra trip conflicts with a driver’s regular A.M., Midday or P.M. contracted assignment, the driver shall take his/her contracted run unless approved by the Transportation Supervisor to have a sub driver take the regular contracted run. Similarly, if an extra Day Trip conflicts with a driver’s other regularly assigned job in the District (e.g., work in the cafeteria), the driver must complete his/her regularly assigned job unless the Transportation Supervisor and the driver’s immediate supervisor in the other regularly assigned job mutually agree to release the driver from his/her other regularly assigned job. If a driver cannot get approval from his/her immediate supervisor in the other regularly assigned job, the driver may trade his/her trip to another driver if both agree. However, the trip may only be traded with another Day Trip. If the driver does not get approval from the applicable immediate supervisor or cannot trade his/her assigned Day Trip to a fellow driver, the driver will be passed on the assigned Day Trip.
G. Drivers may mutually agree to trade or exchange assigned extra trips with advance approval of the Transportation Supervisor.
H. The Board retains the authority to employ charter buses to transport students on Board-funded Extra Trips. This authority shall be used only up to five times per year. Nothing herein, however, shall prevent the Board...
Extra Trips. All extra trips will be assigned on a rotation basis, according to a seniority list. Each driver may volunteer his/her time for one unposted extra trip per year. Exceptions may be made under unusual circumstances. All other extra trips will be posted and assigned on a rotation basis, according to seniority.

A. The four (4) hour minimum for cancelled trips does not apply to shuttles. A shuttle is a trip that is less than two (2) hours in length. Weekend shuttles shall have a minimum of two (2) hours pay, if the District cancels the shuttle.
B. Any driver selected for an extended trip, which is in excess of fifteen (15) hours in duration and a minimum of 200 miles one-way will have lodging provided by the District for the purpose of uninterrupted rest. Selected trips requiring lodging and its cost will be scheduled and approved by the originator of the prior approval.
C. Drivers shall be paid their regular salary for eight (8) hours or the actual driving or mandatory on duty time, (on duty time is when the driver is instructed by staff that he/she must stay on the bus) in excess of either of the above. Overtime shall apply only to actual driving or on duty time in excess of forty (40) hours per week.

C. Extra trip drivers will be allowed a reasonable radius from destination for meals.
Extra Trips. 5.3.1 Whenever administratively practicable, extra trips will be assigned to drivers in a manner to achieve equitable distribution of extra trip time.
5.3.2 An extra-trip-time-account ranking will be the basis for offering a driver an extra trip assignment. However, the Transportation Director, or designee, may, in the best interest of the District, or in case of emergency, make a variation in the assignment of extra trips. “Best interest of the District” includes, but is not limited to, safety of students, unique or unusual requirement for driver knowledge or skill.
5.3.2.1 An extra trip account will be opened for each driver at the beginning of each school year or upon employment, if hired after the school year begins. The account will be closed at the end of each school year.
5.3.2.2 At the beginning of each school year, drivers will be ranked on the extra trips eligibility list by employment date, with the driver having the earliest employment date ranked first and the driver with the most recent employment date ranked last.
5.3.2.3 Throughout the school year, drivers will be re-ranked weekly on the basis of the number of hours credited to each driver’s extra trip time account. Drivers credited with the most extra duty hours are placed at the bottom of the eligibility list, and drivers with the least such hours are placed at the top of the list.
5.3.2.4 Drivers log hours in their extra trip account on the basis of the number of hours of actual extra trip time worked or of the number of hours equal to a trip “passed.” (A trip is “passed” whenever a driver does not accept the offer of an extra trip and is not eligible for a “hold.” Drivers are eligible for a “hold” whenever they are disabled by a verifiable illness, are eligible for military leave pursuant to Article VII, Section 6 of this Agreement, or are unavailable for a trip which is offered less than twenty-four hours before the trip’s scheduled departure time.)
5.4.1 Whenever administratively practicable, special trips will be assigned to evenly distribute the number of trips (not hours) among all the drivers in the department.
