Drivers

Be Prepared

• Review any special pickup and/or dropoff instructions for the ride

• Set your navigation BEFORE you depart from the pickup location

 

Drive Carefully & Obey All Traffic Laws

• Always keep your eyes on the road

• Never talk or text on your mobile phone at any time during the ride

• Pull over to a safe location if it is necessary

• Avoid any situations that puts your passengers at risk

​

Do not allow any unapproved riders in the vehicle (only Boomerang passengers with a Boomerang profile may be on rides).

 

Do not drop a passenger off anywhere other than the pre-arranged destination.

 

Do not leave a drop-off destination until the passenger is safely inside and they wave to indicate that he or she is ready for you to leave.

 

Communicate pick-up and drop-offs promptly so parents have peace of mind.

Riders

Be Prompt

• Please be ready a few minutes before your scheduled pick up time

​

Be Sensible: Only get in the car if:

• Driver matches his or her photo and is wearing a Boomerang t-shirt 

• Car matches the photo and you see the Boomerang decal.  

• Your Driver must also share your Secret Code word.

 

Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe, tell you Driver and parents right away.

​

Respect your Driver and fellow Riders:

• Allow your Driver to strap you into your booster/seat

• Stay strapped in during the ride

• No yelling, rough-housing, or other behavior that may distract the Driver

• Don’t insult, bully, or harass anybody in the car

• Keep your hands to yourself and be nice to everyone

• Allow your Driver to unbuckle you and/or help you out of the vehicle

• When you get to your destination, go directly to where you’re supposed to be.
