Keep school buses on time with turn-by-turn navigation for every driver.
Why drivers get lost
Driver shortages mean schools rely on new and less experienced drivers. Lack of easy navigation makes getting lost easy.
- Not all temporary and substitute drivers know the approved route.
- Routes may be complex, unfamiliar and feature roads or hazards that online mapping providers don’t show.
- One-off routes such as for field trips and outings may be challenging and unfamiliar.
- Getting back on route after being forced to take a detour may not be easy.
How to keep them on route
Put precise, turn-by-turn navigation on their tablet to steer them curbside, every time. Full-time, new, temp and substitute drivers alike.
- Provide drivers an easy-to-use navigation app on their tablet.
- Load the app with approved routes to destinations, including stops and events.
- Drivers follow clear, visual and/or audible directions that steer them curbside.
- Simplify each route with stop-by-stop directions, breaking the trip down one stop at a time.
- Choose a solution that’s easy for all drivers to use, especially those who aren’t tech-savvy.
