Case Study: West Valley School District saves $70,000 with Transfinder bus routing software

West Valley School District saves $70,000 with Transfinder

West Valley School District faced significant transportation challenges, including inefficient routes with stops at nearly every corner, rising fuel costs, and a lack of data on student ridership. This was compounded by the departure of their only staff member familiar with the existing routing tool. Seeking a dedicated solution, Transportation Director Brian Liberg turned to Transfinder for its school bus routing software, Routefinder Pro, to modernize operations and achieve greater efficiency.

Transfinder's solution provided the district with powerful routing software that integrated with their student information system. This enabled a detailed analysis of stops and routes, allowing the district to eliminate unnecessary stops, optimize bus paths, and increase student walk zones. As a direct result of implementing Transfinder's software, West Valley School District achieved a $70,000 cost recovery in the first year, comprised of $35,000 in operational savings and an additional $35,000 in increased state reimbursements.
