Case Study: Upper Township School District saves $400,000 in transportation operating costs with Transfinder

Upper Township School District, NJ Saves $400,000 in Transportation Operating Costs in Weeks

Upper Township School District in Petersburg, New Jersey, faced a budget that was losing $900,000 and needed to find ways to increase transportation efficiency. The district, which transports 2,400 students, turned to Transfinder and its Routefinder Pro software to look for shorter bus runs by changing tiers and bus stops.

Using Routefinder Pro, Beth Hendrickson created duplicate maps, adjusted school start times to move from a two-tier to a three-tier system, and moved stops to main streets to reduce mileage. The changes were completed in two weeks and saved the district $400,000 in transportation operating costs.
