SAG VAN DRIVERS
Special Assistance Group (SAG) Vans transport cyclists who are unable to ride to the next rest stop (or to lunch or finish). This volunteer position supports the ACC Texas MS 150 as the official event SAG support team, and does not support a specific team, individual, or interest group. This is approximately a 20-40 hour commitment. Time includes mandatory meetings, training, rental pick-up the Friday before the event/rental drop-off (potentially Monday after the event), as well as SAG duties during the event.
SAG Drivers are required to meet two requirements set by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society: (1) Pass a criminal background check (2) Pass a Motor Vehicle Record screening.
SAG Drivers must have average visual acuity; the ability to drive a large 15-passenger van through tight rider/pedestrian areas; possess the ability to lift up to 40 pounds, such as large bicycle. It is important that SAG drivers practice patience and are able to handle high-pressure situations. SAG drivers are required to have a second person (navigator) who is the co-pilot assisting the driver with directions, a second set of eyes and interact with passengers. Loading bikes is also a duty for Navigators. There is a maximum of two volunteers per van. SAG volunteers must be able to work from 5:30 or 6:30 a.m. to close of the course each day that they are committed to unless otherwise stated.
