Case Study: Orchard Farm School District (OFSD) streamlines student transportation and cuts dispatch calls 75% with Tyler Technologies' Student Transportation software

Orchard Farm School District(OFSD) - Customer Case Study

Orchard Farm School District in Saint Charles, Missouri (about 2,400 students) was hampered by outdated, siloed transportation processes—pen-and-paper routing, multiple separate websites, and manual route adjustments—while rapid enrollment growth and complex safety/regulatory requirements made route planning slow, error-prone, and hard to communicate across the district.

The district implemented Tyler’s Student Transportation (powered by Traversa) with on-vehicle Tyler Drive tablets and the My Ride K-12 app, creating a single, integrated portal for routing, safety-aware stop placement, and real-time syncing with student records. The solution eliminated paper routes, delivered turn-by-turn directions to drivers, reduced dispatch calls by 75%, improved family communication, and helped Orchard Farm become a more technology-forward district.
