Do I need a credit card to start the web trial?
No. The 7-day ROUTEpatrol Web trial is free and asks for no payment information.
What happens when the 7-day trial ends?
Trial access stops at the end of day 7. A BusBoss specialist reviews your results with you and quotes a subscription if you want to continue. Nothing renews automatically.
Is our student data safe during the trial?
Yes. BusBoss is hosted in Orbit Software's own data center in Pottstown, PA. Logins use multi-factor authentication through Google Authenticator or email codes. If you prefer, run the whole trial on the sample district and share no student data.
Can we use our own tablets for the pilot?
Yes. ROUTEpatrol runs on Android tablets 8 inches or larger. You can bring your own devices, or we supply tablets configured with Samsung Knox security for a one-time $175 setup fee per device plus return shipping.
How many buses should be in the pilot?
Most districts get clear results from a handful of buses that cover different route types, such as one rural, one in-town, and one special-needs route.
Can we run the web trial and tablet pilot together?
Yes. Many districts route in ROUTEpatrol Web first, then push those routes to tablets for the pilot. Select both on the form and we plan the schedule with you.
