No Show Rides
Buffalo Area Transit System passengers who have no-shows equal to or greater than 25% of the scheduled trips in a thirty (30) day period will be provided a written warning. In order to be subject to a warning or suspension, a passenger must have booked a minimum of three (3) trips or more in a calendar month. Example: If a passenger books five (5) trips and no-shows 25% of the time, they will be in violation of the no-show policy and subject to the progressive corrective action plan.
A passenger will be subject to the progressive corrective action plan only if both the minimum number
of trips booked and the minimum number of no-shows are reached during a calendar month. All
suspension periods will begin on a Monday.
The length of a passenger’s suspension will adhere to the progressive corrective action plan described as followed:
First violation in a rolling 12-month period: Verbal Warning
Second violation in a rolling 12-month period: Final Warning Letter
Third violation in a rolling 12-month period: 7 days
Fourth violation in a rolling 12-month period: 14 days
Fifth violation in a rolling 12-month period: 21 days
Sixth and subsequent violations in a rolling 12-month period: 30 days
All penalties imposed under this policy are first subject to an appeals process (see Suspension Appeals Process). Before any suspension, the potentially affected individual will receive written notice that transportation service will be suspended beginning fourteen (14) days from the date of notice. The individual will receive a copy of the appeals process that details passenger rights in this situation. The written notice of suspension will contain instructions and materials necessary to challenge or appeal the
suspension decision. BATS Transit will continue to serve passengers appealing pending suspensions until all appeals have been settled. For passengers who do not choose to appeal, suspensions will commence on the date specified in the written notice.
Subscription/Standing Order reservations may be denied upon a second suspension in any consecutive 12-month period. Privileges may be reinstated without guarantee of the original subscription/standing order.
At no time will BATS Transit require, charge, or bill a passenger when they violate the No Show policy for the passenger trip or any penalties.”
