Enhancing Communication and Safety with Real-Time Intelligence

The introduction of real-time intelligence capabilities marks a significant leap forward in student transportation. Districts can now immediately access crucial data related to student locations, route changes, and transportation delays, enhancing student safety and increasing parent trust. Real-time intelligence enables:

• Easily access information on student bus check-ins and check-offs as well as pick-up and drop-off locations
• Accurately predict bus arrival times in the event of last-minute changes to planned routes so that parents and schools can be proactively notified
• Provide accurate turn-by-turn directions to bus drivers on-the-fly when route adjustments have to be made due to an unexpected driver call-out or mechanical issue

Easily send real-time trip preparation notifications.

Breaking Free from Legacy Systems

Traditional transportation systems have long relied on outdated syncing methods, hampering districts' ability to communicate effectively and accurately. This limitation often resulted in delays, miscommunication, and compromised safety. EZTransportation disrupts the status quo by offering a modern, integrated solution that leverages artificial intelligence and real-time data, thereby transforming school districts' ability to use their data in real-time.
