Does your team know exactly where each school bus goes every day? The gap between planned routes and real-world activity often reveals inefficiencies, detours, unapproved stop changes, and safety risks that quietly add up over time. Before you know it, operational efficiency and reliability aren’t what they were.
In this webinar, Katrina Falk, who oversees Transportation Routing and Training Compliance at Madison Consolidated Schools, shares how her district used their fleet data and routing software to conduct route audits, comparing planned versus actual performance. Through real-world examples, hear how they turned those insights into measurable improvements to optimize operations, reduce risk, and improve routing accuracy without adding to their workload.
Katrina will also share the route audit process she refined as a director and router, using real scenarios that illustrate how actual versus planned insights helped them address challenges nearly every operation faces: ongoing driver shortages, budget constraints, administrative demands to streamline, and the need for greater fleet visibility. You’ll walk away with a practical framework for conducting route audits, as well as insights into how real-world fleet visibility supports accurate routing, reduced risk, and operational accountability.
Learn how fleet data can reveal efficiencies, improve safety, and support more effective decision-making. Bring your questions and share your experiences during an interactive conversation about improving routing processes districtwide.
