Now that you’ve made it through the beginning of the new school year, this is the optimal time to tune your transportation operations. Learn how to leverage your live ridership, routing, and call volume data to reduce missed stops, decrease parent inquiries, and enhance on-time performance.
Join Pathwise and School Transportation News on Thursday, October 9, at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET for a live 60-minute session to discover how to convert your early-semester data into concrete mid-year gains without replacing your current routing platform.
In this session, you’ll get practical tips on how to:
- Reassess your routes using current ridership signals (scan data, driver logs, parent app activity, no-show patterns)
- Improve routing reliability with targeted fixes for tier balancing, stop consolidation, bell-time alignment, and more, instead of major re-routes
- Track ridership more accurately using count audits, exception workflows, and reconciliations, and turn these insights into schedule improvements
- Operationalize KPIs that matter—on-time percentage, call-center volume, and parent notification latency—so you know where adjustments may need to be made.
Bottom line: This isn’t starting over; it’s making smarter use of tools, data, and processes you already have—to ensure smoother operations throughout the rest of the year.
Who should attend: Transportation directors, routing/dispatch leads, and operations managers.
