GPS Tracking Integration
If you need to track bus routes or students, specifically where and how fast their vehicles are going, there is GPS tracking equipment available from many hardware vendors which displays directly within our BusBoss school bus routing software.

How Does BusBoss Save You Money?

BusBoss pays for itself in terms of cost-savings, with improved school bus routing efficiency and transportation services within the first year.

Cost savings are typically reported as a result of reducing the number of vehicles needed for transporting students. The elimination of just one bus is more than enough to pay for the cost of your school bus routing software.

Improved school bus transportation is another benefit of using BusBoss products. Our routing software helps you easily create more efficient bus routes to reduce the time students spend on the bus. The reduction of miles traveled also minimizes the expense of vehicle maintenance costs.

BusBoss school bus routing software also retains crucial historical records to ensure your school district receives timely, accurate state reimbursements without the embarrassment of publicized audit findings.
