Okeechobee County School District cuts 10 bus routes with Transfinder

Okeechobee County School District was facing challenges with a national school bus driver shortage and the need to manually create paper routes. The district's transportation supervisor, Nicole Havee, sought a solution and selected Transfinder's Routefinder PLUS software for its user-friendly, visual interface and excellent customer service.

Transfinder's Routefinder PLUS solution provided a browser-based platform that allowed routing from home, which was critical during the pandemic. Its Trip Absorption function and Artificial Intelligence Optimization helped the district cut 10 routes, reducing the total from 53 to 43 to mitigate the driver shortage. This provided significant operational efficiency and allowed for quick scenario planning. The vendor, Transfinder, also supplied additional tools like Infofinder i for parent information.
