Case Study: Chesapeake Public Schools improves fleet safety and efficiency with Zonar smart fleet management

Chesapeake Public Schools tracks 580 buses and 31,000 students with Zonar

Chesapeake Public Schools, a large public school district, faced challenges managing its fleet of over 580 buses with outdated systems. These included inefficient radio communications for location tracking, a non-integrated time and attendance application, and unverifiable paper-based vehicle inspections. To modernize its operations, the district turned to Zonar Systems for its smart fleet management solutions.

Zonar implemented its technology, including GPS tracking via Ground Traffic Control and Electronic Verified Inspection Reporting (EVIR), providing real-time location data and digitized inspections. The dedicated Zonar Customer Experience team was crucial for seamless integration and ongoing support. The results included greater efficiency, reliable data, fewer parent calls, and healthier vehicles. The district also successfully integrated a Kronos timekeeping app and plans to implement Zonar partner BusPatrol's stop-arm cameras for enhanced safety.
