If eLift starts functioning during a route, what should be done with the On-Board Passenger Record?

When eLift begins operating during a route, the appropriate action regarding the On-Board Passenger Record is to transfer the details to the eMD (electronic manifest data). This is because the eMD system is designed to centralize and update passenger information efficiently and accurately. By transferring the details from the paper record to the electronic system, you ensure that the data is current and accessible for future reference, security, and reporting.

Centralizing data within the eMD enables real-time updates that can enhance the coordination of services, improve operational efficiency, and offer accurate passenger tracking—critical factors in maintaining smooth service and compliance with regulations. This transfer also minimizes the risk of data loss that could occur if the physical record is destroyed or mishandled.

While storing the form in a secure location could protect it, it does not contribute to the overall efficiency that eLift aims for. Similarly, giving it to a station agent or destroying it would not facilitate the systematic handling and tracking of passenger information that the eMD provides, ultimately failing to utilize the electronic system's capabilities to their fullest extent.
