(In case you aren't familiar with the rule of three, it just means making sure at least three people are in a room (or vehicle), so that an adult isn't left one-on-one with a student.)

Is there something we are missing concerning YPP as it relates to transportation? Or is it more of a proactive sort of decision?

Great thread.

The YPP concerns apply to a single mentor and single student sharing a ride. It's less of a concern for semi-official team functions (such as travelling to another team's facility) as it is for stuff like picking up lunch or a student being unable to get a ride home after a particular meeting.
