Case Study: Madison County School District saves $326,896 annually with Transfinder

Madison County School District saves $326,896 annually with Transfinder

Madison County School District faced a challenge when the opening of a new elementary school in 2006 created a need for additional transportation, raising concerns about increasing costs. To contain these costs, the district turned to vendor Transfinder and implemented its Routefinder Pro routing software system.

Using Transfinder's software, the transportation department organized all routes and implemented a series of changes, including creating pool stops, adjusting bell times, and consolidating student loads. This allowed them to reduce the number of buses, miles traveled, and personnel. The measurable impact was substantial: by 2009, the district needed 14 fewer buses, traveled 169,566 fewer miles annually, and achieved total annual savings of $326,896, even while student loads increased.
