One of the most frustrating and difficult responsibilities when it comes to managing an entire fleet of transportation vehicles, whether it is cars or buses, is making sure that all of those vehicles are where they need to be, on time, and don't have any missing students. There is, of course, much more to it than just those responsibilities, but the biggest one is undeniably making sure that transportation is efficient and inexpensive while still providing a helpful resource to students and parents alike.

As transportation systems become more complex, handling their management and oversight similarly becomes a more complex task. In the past, you may have done well enough scheduling and routing your vehicles with strings and pushpins on maps, and using simple radio (or cell phone) contact to keep in touch with drivers on the road.

The school bus pass is not normally considered by most administration, especially when they have so much to worry about and take responsibility for. However, school bus passes are quite important for their highly simple way of making sure that no student is forgotten during the transportation process and is safely taken to their destination with ease.

How are you going to be managing the thousands of students, faculty, and other staff in your school system for next year? While you could continue to go with the old fashioned way of lots of paperwork and numerous headaches, there are much simpler solutions being developed constantly that are very inexpensive and easy to implement into your own school's managing structure. In fact, there is technology out there that takes most of the guesswork out of figuring out how to manage your school, your bus routes, and your students at the fraction of the time it would take you using the "old ways." An online school management system isn't just software that will replace your job, it is a tool that will help better your job and here's why.

Modern advances in technology have made life easier for just about all of us, simplifying and streamlining even routine tasks.  These advances have not bypassed our school bus service industry.

Transportation software increases the viability for efficiency and in meeting your company's logistical goals. Your transportation system is possibly your most critical organ in the entire organization that needs constant monitoring and management. Since the scenarios and constraints are constantly changing, it is important that you have updated transport software to meet your goals:

Let's be honest, these are tough times to be involved in school management. Pressures are mounting on all sides, with very few release valves available. School budgets are constantly being cut, so you have to make do with less each year, or so it seems. Yet, at the same time, the parents seem to demand more and more, especially when it comes to the safety of their children. This is totally reasonable, of course, but it still creates a fundamental problem:

With so many different advances in technology, being able to expertly manage and coordinate an entire fleet of vehicles has become much easier. Busses and vans can be individually tracked on a live-updated map which can show highly detailed information about neighborhoods, major roads, landmarks, and other important markers. It can also help track the consumption of gas for budgeting as well as making sure that all vehicles are on the right track and on time. All from the updates technology and a GSM GPS tracker has brought us.
