Orbit Software, the developer behind BusBoss™, announces the release of its new tablet app, BusBoss™ ROUTEpatrol, to streamline driver route navigation, vehicle inspections, and student ridership tracking. This new addition to the BusBoss suite empowers school directors, bus contractors, transportation coordinators, and IT managers with a versatile tool for efficient and effective school bus management.

The BusBoss tablet app brings a significant upgrade to traditional methods of managing school bus operations. With real-time, turn-by-turn access to driver route navigation, the app enables drivers to follow the most efficient paths to minimize delays and reduce fuel consumption. According to a journal on route optimization, this can save up to 20% in fuel costs and reduce driver times by a similar margin.

The app also streamlines vehicle inspections, enabling drivers to complete pre- and post-trip checks digitally. This way, schools can maintain compliance with safety regulations and reduce the time spent on manual paperwork. This process improvement can save drivers a significant portion of their daily routine time, which is typically spent on manual inspections and documentation​. Inadequate maintenance and driver negligence are among the most common causes of school bus accidents, making these inspections crucial for maintaining student safety and preventing accidents​.

Additionally, the ROUTEpatrol app’s student ridership monitoring feature enhances student safety by allowing drivers to log student attendance in real-time and provide parent notifications of the student’s loading and unloading locations. The app provides accurate tracking of who is on the bus at any given time. Effective student monitoring can reduce safety incidents, ensuring that school districts can maintain a high level of oversight and security for their students.

Since 1998, BusBoss has been dedicated to providing school districts and bus contractors with state-of-the-art bus routing software. The company’s mission is to make transportation management easy and efficient, saving school districts valuable resources. BusBoss has evolved to offer a comprehensive suite of tools, including route optimization, GPS tracking, and now, a versatile tablet app.

By integrating cutting-edge technology with user-friendly interfaces, BusBoss continually enhances its services to meet the evolving needs of the transportation industry. The new tablet app is a testament to this commitment, providing an all-in-one solution for modern school bus management.
