✅ We set you up for success.

From “white glove” implementation of our cutting-edge routing software to planning and optimizing your routes, we ensure your transportation operations are ready to go.

We’ll manage your daily operations, route updates, parent notifications*, and more, so your team can focus on supporting students, drivers, and parents.

✅ We ensure everyone stays in the loop.

From ensuring parents are aware of last-minute changes or delays* to alerting schools when a bus will miss a bell time to immediately notifying drivers of a change and providing updated turn-by-turn directions**, we do it all so you don’t have to.

Testimonials

We selected TransAct’s Professional Routing Services because I’m handling the day-to-day challenges of routing by myself, and it's a true ‘one-woman show'. Professional Routing Services has really benefited our transportation operations because I have to juggle scheduling field trips, bus maintenance, timesheets, and more. With all of these other responsibilities, routing is often put on the back burner.

Desma Cassidy Transportation Coordinator, Juab School District in Utah

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.

Misty Davis Transportation Cost Clerk, Caldwell County Schools

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.

Robin Pickard Transportation Director, West Des Moines Community Schools

TransAct’s Professional Routing Services has been a real time saver for NUSD. I am the router, the dispatcher, a sub-bus driver and aide, and the Director of Transportation. To have an extra, more experienced TransAct associate help me navigate this process is beyond helpful. Not to mention it’s giving me time back to focus on Director things!

Lynn Spivey Director of Transportation, Nadaburg Unified School District

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.
