Simple K-12 Bus Routing: How Caldwell County Brought Everything onto One Platform
When routing, GPS, and driver management live in separate systems, someone on the team is always chasing information. For Jay McCarraher, Director of Transportation at Caldwell County School District in North Carolina, that was daily life before EZRouting.
In this video, Jay explains how consolidating onto a single platform changed the way his team works.
Before EZRouting, Caldwell County’s transportation tasks were spread across different people and disconnected tools. One person managed the drivers. Another handled routing. A third monitored GPS. Each worked independently, and staying aligned required constant back-and-forth.
After moving to EZRouting, all three functions came together on one cloud-based platform. As Jay describes it: “It makes it a one-stop for me. It makes it easier.”
The impact on team communication was immediate. With routing, driver management, and GPS visible in one place, Jay’s staff can collaborate in real time instead of relaying information between systems. When a GPS issue came up in the field, his team member went out and fixed it while the router confirmed from her desk that the device was communicating — all within the same platform, at the same time.
Simple K-12 bus routing means removing unnecessary steps so the people doing the work can focus on what matters — even when routes, schedules, and driver logistics stay complex. Fewer systems to toggle between. Fewer handoffs that slow things down. One shared view of what’s happening across the department.
Watch the video to hear Jay explain, in his own words, how EZRouting gave Caldwell County the simple K-12 bus routing platform his team needed to work better together.
