Case Study: Appleton Area School District achieves reliable, transparent student transportation with Via Student Transit

Appleton Area School District serves 135% more students with Via

The Appleton Area School District (AASD) faced significant challenges in providing transportation for students who could not be served by the traditional yellow bus system. Their previous process required extensive manual coordination, which led to last-minute adjustments and a lack of visibility for families. To address this, AASD partnered with vendor Via to implement its Via Student Transit service.

Via provided a tech-enabled solution that included easily schedulable trips, consistent drivers for students, and real-time ride tracking for both district staff and caregivers. This brought trust, reliability, and transparency to the service. Since its launch, the solution achieved a 135% increase in students served and facilitated over 4,400 rides.
