Case Study: West Valley School District saves $70,000 with Transfinder Routefinder Pro

West Valley School District, Spokane Valley Saves $70,000

West Valley School District, a suburban district in Spokane Valley, WA, was managing transportation with Microsoft Streets and Trips until its transportation director left in 2007. With rising diesel costs and limited visibility into student stops, bus routes, and miles traveled, the district needed a school-district routing system that was easier to use and could help reduce costs.

West Valley School District selected Transfinder’s Routefinder Pro and also added related communication and intranet tools. After analyzing and adjusting routes in the first year, Brian Liberg recovered about $70,000 in costs by reducing stops, trimming routes, and tightening layovers. The district also increased state reimbursement by $35,000, bringing the first-year ROI to $70,000.
