College fails to offer Commercial Driver’s License program on east side at any time
The Commercial Driver’s License program is offered in the summer and fall at Yavapai Community College’s Chino Valley Agribusiness and Technology Center. From all reports, it is doing well. Unfortunately, there is no similar program offered to persons residing on the east side of the County.
The course prepares a student to take his or her commercial license test. It includes the basics of operating commercial vehicles. Students are provided utility trucks, trailers, and a tractor/trailer rig as a part of their training.
As noted above, the College does not provide a similar program to the 73,000 residents living on the east side of the County at the Sedona Center, the Verde Campus, or anywhere else. Furthermore, the College fails to provide transportation from the east side of the County to the training site on the west side for those interested in taking the course but who have transportation issues.
