Simplified Data Collection

Combine data from buses and alternative modes to track performance across critical dimensions, including: utilization, service levels, on-time performance, GPS capture, safety and compliance, staffing, and budget.

Actionable Insights

Transform complex data into clear data that drives results with intuitive reports. 4MATIV’s Ridership Tracking reports are intentionally designed for use by routers and other transportation managers to identify student non-riders, eliminate dead stops, and improve route efficiency.

Improved Efficiency

Empower administrators and transportation leadership with tools to monitor trends, optimize resources, and align services with district goals.

Customized Administration

Your team determines how often you audit ridership: annually, quarterly, or monthly. 


Clarity That Powers Change

We build tools that help districts truly understand how their transportation systems are being used. Our ridership dashboard combines routing assignments and student participation data to show how many students are actually using transportation each day—compared to expectations.

Dead Stops

Pinpoint stops with little or no riders to streamline routes and cut unnecessary costs.

Non-Riders

Identify students assigned to buses who don’t ride, enabling smarter capacity planning.


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 identify under-utilized stops and routes, improve service delivery, and support smarter planning for the future.


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 transportation systems, our platform turns raw numbers into decision-ready data — making it easier to serve every student effectively.
