Special needs transportation administrator routes new student quickly

Jane is a special needs transportation administrator in Chicago. It’s her responsibility to ensure that any student who is signed up for the program receives safe and accessible transportation to school. In this role, Jane has discovered that each situation is different and many factors need to be considered when scheduling school transportation for special needs students…

Today, Jane needs to route a new student – Michael – who will begin using the program next week. She gratefully boots up her Busology app to help her out. Jane knows that the values employees live by at Busology Tech align with hers and that they also want to ensure the best service for special needs students.

It is critical with Jane’s special needs school transportation program that individual needs are met. No two students are the same. This used to take her hours to accomplish. With Busology Tech, she can work through the steps quickly and get Michael set up swiftly. With Busology’s extensive special needs routing functionality, she can:

  • Validate that vehicle equipment complies with Michael’s requirements
  • Confirm that travel restrictions with other students are followed
  • Set up curbside pick-ups and drop-offs for Michael’s home address, rather than forcing him to join others at a bus stop
  • program any variations

Jane completes the process with the Busology technology and breathes a sigh of relief. Michael is all routed and ready to board the bus next week! It was so much easier than the manual process she used to use and Jane is confident that all the requirements were taken care of.

Our mission is to work with you to give all children the opportunity for safe and reliable school transportation.

Transit agency scheduler easily completes scheduling for the entire term

It’s a busy time of year for Sean: this month he needs to complete the school bus scheduling for the district he works on at his transportation agency. He will need to consider where the students are embarking and disembarking, if any changes need to be made to bus stops, how many buses he will need based on students registered, and what is happening on his planned routes, like detours for long term construction for example.

Many of the students who take the bus are too young to disembark without a parent or guardian meeting them and the bus drivers need these names and any custody arrangements that need to be considered, so there are no mistakes. Sean’s job could feel like a steep mountain to climb.

Yet Sean is a happy guy. He knows that the Busology solution he will use to perform his tasks allows him to be proactive and anticipate many circumstances that may occur and plan for them. He also was able to easily learn the solution’s calendar based platform for scheduling and routing, which makes his job easy. Within the calendar he can:

  • Easily manage complicated custody arrangements
  • Create one-time changes to students’ schedules as needed
  • Maintain past, current and future transportation data in one database
  • Perform “what if” scenarios without making data copies
  • Plan for the next term too so he is ahead of the game

In no time at all Sean has made large strides in putting together the schedule for the upcoming term. His boss will certainly be happy with how efficient the Busology solution allows him and the rest of the team to be.

Parent given peace of mind with real-time routing information

Susan’s son, Evan, is seven years old and takes the school bus every day. Evan loves joining his friends on the bus and waits patiently at the bus stop with his mom until it arrives to whisk him off to the second grade.

Susan is grateful for the school bus program and that the bus is almost always on time. She rushes off to work once she has waved goodbye to Evan on the bus. Today, on her way to work, she hears on the radio that a fallen tree has compromised the power lines on the route the school bus usually takes. She is worried about the hazard this may cause on Evan’s bus route. When she arrives at work and parks her car, Susan pulls up the app that the school bus company provides and quickly is able to ascertain that the driver has taken a different, safer route. She can even see where the bus is at that moment, in real time.

Susan breathes a sigh of relief. She can now begin her work day without worry!

Let's transform the way school transportation is delivered - together
