Product Features
Schedule for
Alternating Days
TravelTracker-Routing allows school administration to plan for alternating schedules. Whether students are picked up from one location in the morning and have a different drop-off address for the afternoon, or districts decided to have students attend on alternating days, you will have the flexibility needed.
Consolidate Routes
On the Fly
Early morning bus break downs can cause delays in getting students to school on time. With the TravelTracker-Routing consolidation feature, administration can easily consolidate routes, and the system will automatically reroute the bus and provide details for student count and route duration.
Communication is
Key
Communication is key for school districts and parents. TravelTracker-Routing includes a parent portal feature, at no additional cost. This allows parents to view current bus schedules and stay in the loop as well. Additionally, school administration can send emails or text messages directly from the platform to notify of route changes or delays!
Create Sandboxes
To Run
Test Scenarios
TravelTracker-Routing has a new sandbox feature that allows you to set up scenarios and work through the What-IF scenarios. If districts decide that social distancing is required, for example, you can have a scenario already set up and can make it your active scenario should your administrators decide that this is necessary. The sandbox feature will allow you to keep your current routes active, without making active changes.
Track Vehicles,
Mileage & Fuel Costs
The School Bus Fleet Maintenance software add-on for TravelTracker-Routing allows districts to view their listed vehicles, print barcodes, add new vehicles, and see which mileage or runtimes have not been updated by a set interval. You can calculate fuel costs, adjust mileage, and view the vehicle’s barcode identifier for warranty purposes or tracking by clicking on a listed vehicle. Within your Vehicle Details, you can also view a comprehensive list of work order history for each vehicle.

1.828.322.5060What's in it for Transportation Directors?
- Smart Search – Provides an intelligent search feature to locate almost anything desired relative to data entered, saving time and frustration in locating information.
- Group Auto Scheduling – Provides fast scheduling for groups to bus stops based on student needs and district policies. Can pull all students in from Student Information data and create new routes – more efficient. Example – 10 new kids come in, you can auto-schedule them all into existing routes and stops rather than 1 student at a time.
- Auto Student Assignment- Provides auto-assignment of students to stops based on district policies and other flexible criteria greatly speeding up the routing process
Improved Safety
- Road and Satellite Maps – Provides highway or satellite views on all maps. Why is this important? Satellite maps make it easy to see things such as a corner and where the students will have to walk to a stop – things such as building they have to pass etc. So if you have to add a new stop, you can evaluate what is around.
- Map Hazards – Draw a hazard and/or turnaround locations on maps for all or specific bus routes & trips. Example: a construction project and the buses can’t go through that area for 2 months. You can draw a hazard around that location and it re-routes all buses around the hazard. Re-routes it automatically around the hazard. Can enter a start and end date if you want and it will put the routes back after the date ends.
Simple Updates and Editing
- Weekly Base Map Updates – No need to purchase map upgrades. Provides real-time changes to communities with weekly updates eliminates the need for purchasing map upgrades.
