Making Ridership Data Actionable

We’re building tools that help districts truly understand how their transportation systems are being used. Our ridership dashboard combines GPS, routing, and student data to show how many students are actually riding the bus each day—compared to how many are expected to.

Understanding Ridership at Every Level

Our ridership dashboards give districts a clear view of how student transportation is actually being used—from daily boardings to terminal-level patterns. By comparing planned riders to real-time counts, we help identify under- or over-utilized stops, improve service delivery, and support smarter planning for future routes and bell times.

Why it matters for schools

Accurate ridership data supports better resource allocation, minimizes empty seats, and helps districts adapt to shifting student needs. With tools designed specifically for K–12 systems, our platform turns raw numbers into actionable insights — making it easier to serve every student effectively.
