Case Study: Syosset Central School District achieves $162,000 in annual savings with Transfinder Routefinder Pro

Syosset School District Still Finds Savings and Efficiencies with Transfinder Software Seven Years After Implementation

Syosset Central School District, located in Long Island, New York, transports about 7,000 students each day across 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district needed a better way to route its 64 buses after years of relying on a wall-sized magnet board, and it turned to Transfinder’s Routefinder Pro.

Transfinder implemented Routefinder Pro in February 2002, and the district later used the software’s Resource Scheduler to visualize routes, stops, and student counts at each stop. By finding trips that fit into drivers’ idle time, Syosset reduced three buses, producing a $162,000 annual savings, which the district then used for instructional needs, transportation improvements, upgraded maps, and Transfinder’s Orthoimagery feature.
