Oakwood CUSD #76 saves $439,000 with Transfinder

Oakwood CUSD #76, a school district in Illinois, faced the challenge of upgrading from a manual school bus routing system to a more efficient one. The district partnered with vendor Transfinder and implemented its Routefinder Pro software to manage routes and student data for its 1,050 students across 94 square miles.

The solution was greatly enhanced when the district's transportation director attended Transfinder's annual client conference. There, she received hands-on training and learned management practices that empowered her to analyze data and optimize operations. By implementing these strategies with Transfinder's software, the district was able to eliminate two bus routes. This resulted in a significant measurable impact, saving $439,000 by avoiding the purchase of new buses and reducing fuel, payroll, and overtime costs.
