Case Study: New Caney ISD achieves $100,000+ in transportation savings and streamlined, automated routing with Tyler Technologies' Versatrans

Growing district streamlines and automates their transportation

New Caney Independent School District, a rapidly growing public district in East Montgomery County, Texas serving about 11,750 students (6,500+ transported), struggled with a completely manual, outdated routing system that couldn’t keep up with enrollment growth (30.2% over five years). The transportation office faced long student wait times, frequent route changes and a high volume of parent calls seeking routing information.

The district implemented Tyler’s Versatrans suite—Versatrans Routing & Planning, Triptracker and Fleetvision—integrating with their SIS in under a month. The result: elementary double runs fell from 16 to 2, mid‑day routes were cut by ~30%, and the district saved more than $100,000 in the first year (recouping implementation costs), while proactively reducing parent calls by sending automated student routing mailers.
