What are school districts saying about Routefinder PLUS?
“Making changes to routes, adding students and stops were quick and easy. This is my first year on the job of routing and I couldn’t believe how well it went.”
Andrew Strack, Transportation Secretary at East Noble School Corporation in Indiana
“This was our best year yet. Every year I learn and implement more of Routefinder PLUS features. This year I was able to really utilize ‘saved data grids’ and filters that made things much easier.”
Diane Spurlock, Director of Transportation at Indian Hill Exempted Village School District in Ohio
“I truly love Transfinder. Everything about my experience has been great. I love the fact that we’re connected with PowerSchool, that I get the updates every night.” That includes address changes and new students coming into the district. That’s a really big time savings for me. I don’t have to manually put the new students into the routing program.” Click here to read more.
Crystal Blowe, Supervisor of Transportation at Essex County Public Schools in Virginia and also the district’s router.
Over less than a month this summer I was able to dump pretty much all our routes, re-route them, set everything back up and start the school year with whole new routing. The ease of PLUS. I tell people in less than a minute I can reroute a new student. If the student’s transportation needs change, I can change it. Very simple. Very quick. Click here to hear more.
Jason Hibbard, Director of transportation & safety at Chenango Forks CSD, NY. Transports 1,400 students, 21 routes.
“We decided last year to go to PLUS. Besides all the bells and whistles that PLUS offers, I think the advantage that comes across is the software is so much easier to use, that our every day users can now actually use it. They’re not calling support or the in-house routing department. They feel comfortable using the software on a daily basis. Kudos to Transfinder for a great product.” Serves 30-plus school districts, 26,000 students. Click here to read more.
