School transportation systems are becoming ever harder to manage in the 2020s. Budgets are flat, or even being cut, even as more burdens are placed on district transportation systems. Even as districts struggle to keep their buses running and ensuring their student ridership arrives safely, calls are rising for schools to 'go green' and embrace ecological initiatives. The need for greener school transportation is evident, but the problem is how. BusBoss can help! We have decades of experience as consultants working with districts to optimize their transportation systems, cut costs, and find greener solutions to their current issues.
With BusBoss as your partner, green initiatives become easier to achieve.
Route Optimization Creates Fuel Savings
We got our start assisting with bus routing optimization, and we're still among the best in the industry. We can run extensive tests and simulations, trying out different route structures to find the optimal solution to your needs: getting your student ridership where they need to be, while using the fewest buses and the least fuel.
This directly translates into very real ecological improvements, by reducing fuel use and emissions. If your district can't afford upgrades to alt-fuel buses, this is the next best option.
Detailed Performing Reporting and Analysis
Much of the fuel waste associated with school buses is caused by poor maintenance. This is typically due to a lack of information about the buses' performance while on the road.
Our GeoTab reporting and analysis system can capture extensive data from your buses while in use. This includes metrics such as engine efficiency, average fuel consumption, average braking times, and more. It can also analyze the drivers themselves, noting driving habits that may be contributing to waste or putting too much stress on the bus.
Our expert analysts can help you find all these little inefficiencies that add up to big waste, cutting your fuel costs and improving the overall efficiency of your buses.
Reducing the Costs of Alt-Fuel Upgrades
Investing in buses that run on electricity, or alt-fuels such as propane, might not be as expensive as you think. There are numerous private and public programs in place to help - and BusBoss can put you in contact. Government grant programs can substantially reduce the costs of engine retrofits, or purchasing new electric buses.
You may not have time to do the extensive research to find all the programs you apply for, but we do. BusBoss could be your gateway to affordable eco-friendly upgrades.
Selling Your Proposals
Having data in hand demonstrating how your district can reduce fuel use, or save money through upgrades, is one thing. Convincing the administration and the public to buy in is another matter.
BusBoss understands the realities of school bureaucracy. We can arm you with well-written proposals backed by hard data that demonstrate the ecological benefits and cost savings of the proposals. With us as your partners, your initiatives have a better chance of succeeding.
Whether you need a little help with routing or are looking for whole-district optimizations, BusBoss has the experience to see you succeed!
