Analyze the question and options

The question asks what "Transportation safety includes" in the context of KDADS (Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services) basic safety training.

Evaluate each option

• Option 1: "Placing passengers in the seat next to you so that you can see what they are doing" — This can be a distraction to the driver and is not a standard safety protocol.
• Option 2: "Knowing your passengers and staying alert to their verbal or non-verbal cues" — This is a core safety practice to anticipate and prevent behavioral or medical crises while driving.
• Option 3: "Driving as fast as you can to minimize your travel time and risk" — Driving fast increases risk and violates traffic safety laws.
• Option 4: "Keeping passengers distracted so that they don't focus on their problems" — This is not a standard safety protocol.
