To our Express Driving School Families:
We are happy to announce that business will gradually resume at our driving school!
Driving Schools have been designated by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the US Government as part of the Critical Infrastructure Workforce.
On May 19th, 2020, the CISA issued the following updated advisory document:
ADVISORY MEMORANDUM ON IDENTIFICATION OF ESSENTIAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS DURING COVID-19 RESPONSE.
In this advisory memorandum, Driving Schools were specifically mentioned in the following section:
TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS
“•Workers supporting or enabling transportation and logistics functions, including truck drivers, bus drivers, dispatchers, maintenance and repair technicians, warehouse workers, third party logisticians, truck stop and rest area workers, driver training and education centers, Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV)workers, enrollment agents for federal transportation worker vetting programs, towing and recovery services, roadside assistance workers, intermodal transportation personnel, and workers that construct, maintain, etc.”
In addition: Governor Newsome’s Executive Order N-33-20 was issued on March 19th, 2020, and amended on May 6th, 2020. It reads as follows.
ESSENTIAL WORKFORCE On March 19, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-33-20 directing all residents immediately to heed current State public health directives to stay home, except as needed to maintain continuity of operations of essential critical infrastructure sectors and additional sectors as the State Public Health Officer may designate as critical to protecting health and well-being of all Californians. In accordance with this order, the State Public Health Officer has designated the following list of “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” to help state, local, tribal, and industry partners as they work to protect communities while ensuring continuity of functions critical to public health and safety, as well as economic and national security.
In Section 6 relating to Transportation and Logistics.
- TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS
Sector Profile The Transportation Systems Sector consists of seven key subsectors or modes:•Aviation includes aircraft, air traffic control systems, and airports, heliports, and landing strips. Commercial aviation services at civil and joint-use military airports, heliports, and seaplane bases. In addition, the aviation mode includes commercial and recreational aircraft (manned and unmanned) and a wide variety of support services, such as aircraft repair stations, fueling facilities, navigation aids, and flight schools.•Highway and Motor Carrier encompasses roadway, bridges, and tunnels. Vehicles include trucks, including those carrying hazardous materials; other commercial vehicles, including bicycles, commercial motor coaches and school buses; vehicle and driver licensing systems; taxis, transportation services including Transportation Network Companies, and delivery services including Delivery Network Companies; traffic management systems; AND cyber systems used for operational management.
Taking into account the CISA’s Advisory Memorandum and Governor Newsome’s Executive order, Driving Schools are considered as Essential Workforce Businesses.
With these facts in mind, Express Driving School will gradually resume business as we see fit, depending on the health climate of each community. And for the safety of our students and instructors, we will re-open at limited capacity.
As we begin to gradually resume business, our school had developed and adopted a complete Coronavirus Prevention Plan to do our part in mitigating the transmission of the Covid-19 Virus.
We truly appreciate your patience during our transition in providing you with the safest and seamless service possible.
