Case Study: Lancaster County Public Schools School District eliminates two routes with Transfinder

Lancaster County Public Schools Implements Routing Software and Eliminates Two Routes

Lancaster County Public Schools School District in Kilmarnock, VA serves 3 schools and 1,452 students in grades PK through 12. Tim Guill, who has worked with Transfinder since 2004, stepped into a manually run transportation operation where the same routes were repeated each year and wanted a clearer picture of actual ridership and bus travel patterns. He purchased Routefinder Pro to evaluate the district’s routes and student transportation needs.

Using Transfinder’s Routefinder Pro and current student address data, Guill geocoded student locations and analyzed the district’s routing with mapping visualization. The review helped him eliminate two routes and fill buses to maximum capacity without reducing service or compromising student safety, generating $40,000 in driver cost savings.
