Case Study: Bismarck Public Schools improves bus tracking and parent communication with Transfinder

Bismarck Public Schools boosts bus tracking adoption to 30% with Transfinder

Bismarck Public Schools (BPS) faced a severe driver shortage and parent communication gaps after implementing a complex two-tiered bus system to maximize limited resources. To address these challenges, the district turned to vendor Transfinder for solutions, including its Stopfinder parent engagement app and Wayfinder navigation tablets.

By implementing Transfinder's technology, BPS provided parents with real-time bus location updates and notifications, which significantly reduced calls to the transportation office and increased operational awareness. After ensuring full fleet-wide reliability by also equipping contracted buses with Wayfinder, Transfinder helped BPS maintain service, support its new routing model, and build greater trust with families.
