Better Data. Smarter Routes. Meaningful Savings.
By combining your district’s student ridership data with our routing expertise, we help uncover opportunities to reduce transportation costs and improve operational efficiency.
Our no-cost route study in 3 easy steps:
Share Your Existing Route Data & Connect Your SIS
Provide your existing route information and securely connect your student information system (SIS). This allows our team to use real student ridership data, not just existing bus routes, to identify meaningful opportunities for improvement.
Student data is handled securely in accordance with FERPA requirements.
Our Experts Analyze Your Routes
Our routing experts evaluate your actual ridership, routes, and operational constraints to identify opportunities for greater efficiency.
Get Clear, Actionable Results
We’ll walk you through our findings, highlight potential savings, and show you where improvements may be possible. If your routes are already running efficiently, we’ll tell you that, too.
Every District Is Different. Every Route Study Should Be, Too.
We tailor each route optimization study to your district’s priorities and operational needs. Here are just a few of the factors our experts can evaluate as part of your study.
Bell time windows
Explore whether adjusting or coordinating school start and end times could allow buses to serve multiple routes more efficiently.
Ride time limits
Evaluate current student ride times and identify opportunities to shorten long rides through more efficient routing.
Bus and seat capacity
Evaluate how effectively buses are being utilized while accounting for seating capacity and individual student transportation needs.
Geography and roads
Account for travel distances, road conditions, railroad crossings, and other geographic factors that affect routing.
Driver and yard reality
Consider driver availability, the location buses start their day, and how these factors impact daily transportation operations.
Program and stop rules
Account for district policies, designated stops, special programs, and other transportation requirements that generic optimizers often ignore.
A Map Can Show a Shorter Route. But It Can’t Tell You If It’s a Better One.
Our routing experts look beyond the map, considering actual student ridership, ride times, and your district’s unique operational needs to identify improvements that work in the real world.
Same Students. Fewer Buses.
Smarter Routes. Fewer Buses. Meaningful Savings.
Our experts identify opportunities to consolidate routes, reduce mileage, and lower transportation costs while considering student ride times and your district’s operational needs.
Software can identify potential improvements. Our routing experts consider your actual ridership, bell schedules, and operational needs, then meet with you to review the findings and discuss opportunities for improvement.
One Route Study. Two Potential Outcomes
Opportunities for Savings
We identify opportunities to consolidate routes, improve efficiency, and reduce transportation costs. We’ll review our findings with your team so you can make informed decisions about potential improvements.
Confidence in Your Current Routes
If our analysis finds your routes are already operating efficiently, we’ll tell you. You’ll gain independent confirmation that your district is already making effective use of its transportation resources.
You’ll have a clearer understanding of your district’s transportation efficiency and opportunities for improvement, no matter the outcome.
