The practice of social distancing may be in effect for a while, and it may continue in some cities and reappear in others as society waits for a coronavirus vaccine. That brings up the question of how to deal with groups of people during a time when everyone is supposed to be staying 6 feet away from each other. For most people that will mean telecommuting and video conferencing. However, if your company finds that it has to send a group of essential employees somewhere, then you have to figure out how to keep everyone safe. It is possible to do this, and corporate transportation can help.
Vans and Buses Are Available
While some of the people in the group may decide to drive themselves to the destination — something that your company can hopefully reimburse them for — others may not have cars. Or, if the destination is another city, the airport rental car agency may be out of vehicles. One way to deal with this is to rent a vehicle with more passenger capacity than you'd normally need. For example, if you're sending five people somewhere, instead of arranging for a town car, which is a large passenger car, look for corporate transportation that offers vans and buses. Have the people sit as far away from each other as they can. You won't need a huge tour bus for just a few people, but a large van could provide enough room.
Are Some of the Travelers Immune?
If you know that some of the people traveling have already had and recovered from COVID-19, they may have some immunity. That could make travel a little easier as those people could be grouped together in closer circumstances, or they could be paired with non-immune people in town cars or smaller vans. This helps because you don't know exactly what the transportation company will have available, and the ability to mix and match will make it easier for you to get your workers where they need to go.
Ask About Cleaning Procedures
Always check about the cleaning procedures that the company uses for their vehicles. Companies that were allowed to remain open had to upgrade their disinfection procedures, so a good transportation company should have a similar approach. Ensuring that the company will clean the vehicle before and after transporting your workers is the best way to go.
Corporate transportation doesn't have to be difficult in these times. You have options, and companies are willing to work with you to find the best combination of vehicles for your group.
