Case Study: School District of Philadelphia improves student transportation with Transfinder

School District of Philadelphia modernizes transportation for 198,405 students with Transfinder

The School District of Philadelphia sought a new all-in-one transportation technology partner after its previous provider exited the market. The district needed a comprehensive platform to improve operational efficiency, increase visibility, and enhance service for its large and complex student transportation system, which serves nearly 200,000 students across 330 schools. After a competitive RFP process, they selected Transfinder for its Routefinder PLUS software and suite of tools.

Transfinder provided an integrated solution featuring GPS tracking, the Stopfinder parent app, and real-time visibility, which were critical differentiators for the district. The implementation is ongoing and progressing well, with the district anticipating significant results including improved on-time performance, a reduction in call volume due to the parent app, and greater operational efficiency. The vendor's proven experience and AI tools are expected to help the district achieve its ultimate mission of safe, effective, and efficient student transportation.
