<p>Hey all, just bumping this up again in advance of Tuesday's training. Plenty of slots left and it's one of our most rewarding volunteer opportunities. Don't be intimidated about not knowing all the answers, we'll tell you all you need to know, and the commitments are actually very flexible, so if you're on the fence, come on out. And let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see you there!</p>

<p>The Active Transportation Alliance Crash Support Hotline is ringing and we are training volunteers to answer the phone. This is a unique opportunity to become an expert on assisting cyclists and pedestrians after a crash.</p>
<p>Volunteers undergo an extensive training that will give them the tools and confidence they need to effectively answer the Crash Support Hotline. Volunteers will sign up for a two week time slot to take calls. During their scheduled time, volunteers will be issued a crash support cell phone and will be expected to return all crash calls within 24 hours.</p>
<p>Training dates (both dates mandatory)</p>
<p><strong>Part 1: Legal, Logistics and Crisis Training<br/></strong>February 12<br/>6:30-8 p.m.<br/>9 West Hubbard, Suite 402<br/>Chicago, IL 60654</p>
<p><strong>Part 2: Answering the Hotline </strong><br/>February 21<br/>6:30-8 p.m.<br/>9 West Hubbard, Suite 402<br/>Chicago, IL 60654</p>
<p>To be a volunteer, you must attend a two part mandatory training. Please RSVP to <a href="mailto:jason@activetrans.org">jason@activetrans.org</a> with your name, phone number and email address.</p>

<p>Duppie,</p>
<p></p>
<p>It's a relatively low time commitment. Operators have the phone in their possession for two week shifts, during which they are expected to return all calls within 24 hours. (All voice mails are also forwarded as texts to your email.) Call volumes vary depending on the time of year from 1-2 calls per day to 0-1 a week. Each call usually takes 5-10 minutes. Operators are expected to sign up for at least two shifts a year. </p>
