Schedule for Alternating Days

EZRouting enables administrators to accommodate alternating student schedules. Whether you're factoring in students being picked up from one location in the morning and dropped off at a different address for the afternoon, students who are attending school on alternating days, students who attend classes at different locations during the week, or other real-world scenarios, EZRouting provides you with the flexibility you need. 

Schedule for Alternating Days - Computer and Tablet

Consolidate Routes On the Fly

Early morning bus break-downs and driver call-outs can cause delays in getting students to school on time. With the EZRouting route consolidation feature, administrators can easily consolidate routes on-the-fly and the system will automatically reroute buses, alerting the driver and parents accordingly, and providing details for student counts and route duration.

Improve Communication with Parents

EZRouting includes a Parent Portal at no additional cost that enables parents to view and request changes to their student's bus schedule from their desktop or laptop computer. And with our mobile Parent App (BusQuest), parents have access to the same capabilities plus our geo fence-based bus tracking feature, which can be downloaded from the Apple App and Google Play stores.

Create Sandbox Scenarios

Simulate an unlimited number of routing scenarios without impacting live/default routes in the system. For example, if you believe that at some point social distancing might be required again, you can create and save that scenario and only activate it if needed. The sandbox feature also enables you to run a variety of similar scenarios for comparison, and then approve or reject each prior to making one live.

Test Scenarios - Sandbox

Experience the Efficiency of AI

Power up your Transportation department with an AI copilot! Our system displays the most efficient options when routing selected students and enables you to move stops while still respecting bell times. With AI-optimized route generation, you can specify rules for the routes and tell the system to create routes for a specific group, and it will take care of the rest for you!

Auto Generate Routes

Easily Generate Student Bus Passes

Customized bus passes, designed with a Word template, can be generated directly from the system and printed with individual student information. Passes can be configured by one of our specialists to include essential details such as the student’s name, picture, bus assignments, and any other pertinent student information.

Testimonials

From the time we started the onboarding process to the time we went live, the whole process just couldn’t have been better. If we ever had a question or a request, the [EZRouting] services team always got back to us within an hour or less. They even developed new features in the software to support our specific needs.

The customer support we receive from TransAct for our activity buses is a BIG 10 out of 10. Looking at other routing options for Caldwell County, it became clear that it was needed [and] that we wanted our needs met so TransAct had our needs. TransAct team has thus far been very compliant with the installation of the program.

We're able to send a quick message to a quick test text message to parents telling them to expect a delay on the bus, for instance, or what their child's bus information is, or the stop is moved. And as a return, we can see all the communication that we've had with the parents through our software.

[TransAct's EZRouting] is by far the most powerful, easy-to-use web-based software I've ever seen in my life...the speed of it is incredible and especially compared to what we were used to. My anxiety level has dropped since switching to TransAct.

When we started looking at your program it was strictly for communication. We did everything by hand. In the summer, we would be at the office not knowing when we could go home because we had all these parents to call back. That's almost been eliminated because we can send them an email or text message with the information for their student.
