The Risk Pooling Trust (RPT) is always looking for ways to help assure the safety of its members while also helping to keep member costs at manageable levels. To better protect RPT members who are the drivers of the more than 26,000 vehicles covered in the RPT, we offer the Fleet Credit Program. Over the years, the Fleet Credit Program has saved members hundreds of thousands of dollars in contribution credits.
To be eligible, the RPT must cover an organization’s vehicles. For a Religious Community, the first step is to complete a Fleet Risk Management Assessment with their assigned Risk Control Consultant. If your organization is a ministry such as a nursing home, thrift store, high school etc., then the Christian Brothers Risk Management Services Online Auto Assessment Survey, which can be found at cbservices.org in the Administrator Section under Risk Control needs to be completed. That’s all there is to it!
The Fleet Credit Program encourages members to take a proactive approach in protecting the lives of their drivers and their fleet exposures. All members who have vehicles covered by the RPT can take advantage of the program, which includes credits for Driver Awareness Training and Behind the Wheel Driver Evaluation.
For Driver Awareness Training, we will give a $50 credit for each documented individual who attended an approved driver awareness training program. Approved driver awareness training programs include:
All other training programs need approval by the RPT.
For Behind the Wheel Driver Evaluations, we will provide a credit of up to $175 for each religious driver who has been evaluated by an approved, behind-the-wheel evaluator that has been paid by the member directly. The religious driver must be at least 80 years of age or have issues of concern by leadership. A report showing the overall results of the evaluation and an invoice showing the total cost must be provided. The evaluation should include live behind-the-wheel driving exercises and cognitive testing. Approved Evaluators include:
All other programs need RPT approval.
Each vehicle insured by the RPT is eligible for a $50 credit over a two-year rolling period. If, for example, on June 1, 2022, your organization has 30 vehicles, and has not received credits before, it would have $1,500 of credit available over a two-year period. If, October 1, 2022, you receive $1,150 of credits for your members who attended a driver awareness training program, and then $350 credits on May 1, 2023, for two drivers who saw a certified driver rehabilitation specialist, you would be out of available credits until October 1, 2024 when you would then be eligible for another $1,500 in credits, assuming you still had 30 vehicles covered by the RPT. You can use credits anytime during the two-year period, either right away or spread out. If you are already enrolled in the Fleet Credit Program and have used some credits, don’t let your unused credits go to waste! Check with us to see how many credits you have remaining and when they expire.
The training and evaluation you provide to your members can help to reduce the likelihood of a motor vehicle accident and lower the severity of an accident. The RPT Fleet Credit Program allows you to give them these safeguards while also providing your organization with a substantial savings.
To receive a driver awareness training credit, sign-in sheets or certificates of completion need to be provided to Christian Brothers Risk Management Services, including the names of the individuals who attended any live training programs or completed any online training. To receive a behind the wheel evaluation credit, you must provide an invoice showing the cost of each driver evaluation and a copy of the evaluation showing that cognitive and road tests were performed. All information must be mailed or emailed to Laura Hart at Christian Brothers Risk Management Services, 1205 Windham Parkway Romeoville, IL 60446.
