Every Week Out Of Duty Can Mean Lost Income

A DOT violation can prevent you from performing FTA regulated safety sensitive functions. Delaying the SAP process can mean more time away from covered transit work.

The sooner you begin, the sooner you can start completing the required steps toward return to duty eligibility.

Your Transit Duties Are On Hold

A DOT drug or alcohol violation means you cannot perform covered safety sensitive functions until you complete the required SAP and return to duty steps.

Your CDL itself is on the clock.

This is the part drivers miss. Since November 18, 2024, your state licensing agency is required to strip the commercial privileges off your license while you sit in prohibited status. That is a downgrade to a regular driver's license. Getting the CDL back means completing the return-to-duty process and then applying for reinstatement with your state. Waiting does not hold your place in line. It moves you backward.

Your Record Can Follow You To Your Next Employer

Changing transit employers does not erase an unresolved DOT violation. Required drug and alcohol testing records can affect your eligibility to perform safety sensitive work with another DOT regulated employer.

You Are Under Pressure To Get Back To Work

Lost income and uncertainty can make the process feel overwhelming. A qualified SAP gives you clear requirements and a defined path toward return to duty.

The drivers who get back to work are not the ones with the cleanest record. They are the ones who started the Return to Duty Process.

A Clear Path Back To Safety Sensitive Transit Work

Reset Road guides you through the SAP process from your initial evaluation through successful compliance. Your employer handles the required return to duty testing before you resume covered FTA duties.

 

1
Initial evaluation

You meet your SAP over video. It runs about 60. Your SAP asks about your history, your test, and your circumstances, then determines what education or treatment you need.

2
Treatment or education

Your SAP writes a plan and gives you a list of qualified providers to choose from. Some drivers get an education course they can finish in a few day. Others get a treatment program that runs longer.

3
SAP follow-up evaluation

When you finish your plan, you meet your SAP again. The SAP verifies you completed what was assigned, determines whether you are compliant, and if you are, sets your follow-up testing schedule.

4
Return-to-duty test

This one is on your employer. Your current or hiring carrier arranges a directly observed return-to-duty test and reports the negative result to the Clearinghouse, if applicable.

5
Follow-up testing schedule

Your SAP prescribes at least six unannounced tests in your first 12 months back on the job, and can extend the schedule up to five years total. Your employer runs those tests and reports completion.

Why Transit Professionals Choose Reset Road

Fully virtual and available when and where you are.

Complete your SAP evaluation by secure video from a private location. No office visit is required. All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer with a reliable internet connection.

$450, Transparent Pricing

Call three SAP providers and most will not give you a price until they have you on the phone and can read your desperation. Ours is on the page. That $450 covers your initial evaluation, your follow-up evaluation, and Clearinghouse reports (if applicable). No add-on for the follow-up, no add-on for filing.

Start The Process Without Waiting

Your safety sensitive transit duties may be on hold, but the SAP process does not have to be. Virtual evaluations let you begin promptly without waiting for an in person appointment.

We Keep Your Process Moving

Delays in completing the SAP process can mean more time away from covered transit work. We complete required SAP documentation promptly so you can move forward after each required step.

We Understand FTA Regulated Work

We work with bus operators, rail operators, dispatchers, mechanics, and other FTA regulated safety sensitive employees. You will not have to spend your evaluation explaining the nature of your transit duties.

You pick your SAP

Your DOT qualified SAP evaluates your situation, determines the required education or treatment, conducts the follow up evaluation, and establishes your follow up testing plan.

Nothing changes until you make the first call

The evaluation takes about 60 minutes. Most safety-sensitive employees working with Reset Road finish the return-to-duty process in a week. Every week you wait is a week of missed income. Start the evaluation online, or pick up the phone and talk to a real SAP today.
