K-12 Overview

Watch our overview video to learn how K-12 transportation technology makes scheduling easier while also providing safer transportation for your students. A single vendor, end-to-end solution ensures your system functions seamlessly and that you’ll always have the vital information you need to respond to parents and teachers.

Calendar-Based Routing and Scheduling

Build optimal routes to eliminate inefficiency. Calendar-based schedule manages large amounts of data with ease, allowing for quick trip creation, editing and planning. Plan for current and future semesters with multiple “what if” scenarios.

GPS Bus Tracking

AVL (automatic vehicle location) services track and monitor the movements and locations of every bus on the road. Complete insight into the location of students on their routes with RFID student tracking cards. This is essential information for parents and staff.

Bus Driver Management

Software efficiencies encourage driver retention rates and make it easier for drivers to bid on certain trips. Determine schedules based on seniority and all trips connect with payroll software to streamline payment process.

Dealing With Student Schedule Changes

Make edits to a student’s routing to accommodate a one-time change. Set student as on vacation to suspend service for a specific duration, rather than having to build an entirely new schedule.

Ensuring PLAN matches the ACTUAL

GPS data analysis ensures that pre-designated optimal and safe routes are followed by drivers. Drivers access in-vehicle maps of your planned routes and not generic Google maps that can’t display your actual plan.

Students with Special Needs

Improve special education service levels by ensuring routes are optimized, reducing on-board times, and easily manage Medicaid reimbursements and student data regarding eligibility.
