Walton County School District cuts daily trips from 350 to 176 with Transfinder

Walton County School District in Florida faced a significant school bus driver shortage, losing nearly half its drivers while the number of students needing transportation increased. This challenge was compounded by the district's unique and rapidly growing geography. To maintain operations, the district relied on Transfinder's Routefinder software as a critical tool for managing its complex routing needs.

Using Transfinder's Routefinder solution, the transportation team could visualize routes, make real-time adjustments, and combine routes efficiently. This allowed them to implement a creative "waves" system for bus reloading. The software provided essential data that enabled the district to reduce its daily trips from 350 to 176. Transfinder's tools were instrumental in achieving these results, ensuring school was never canceled due to a lack of transportation.
