Case Study: York Central School District improves transportation efficiency and safety with Transfinder

York Central School District streamlines daily routing for 400+ students with Transfinder

York Central School District, a small district in upstate New York, faced outdated and manual school bus routing processes that relied heavily on physical notebooks. This system lacked efficiency and flexibility for managing daily routes for over 400 students. Transportation Director Tracey Proctor, recognizing the need for modern tools, specifically sought out Transfinder's routing software, Routefinder PLUS, and its driver app, Wayfinder, to address these challenges.

Transfinder implemented its Routefinder PLUS routing solution and Wayfinder app, which provided intuitive, digital routes for drivers and eliminated the need for printed directions. The solution allowed for easy route assignment, especially for substitutes, and increased operational flexibility. As a result, the district achieved greater efficiency and driver confidence, with Proctor noting the supportive, non-technical training from Transfinder was key to successful adoption. She now plans to use the technology as a recruitment tool for future drivers.
