Continue on to learn all the ways to use this software to maximize time and efficiency for your district.

Automated Student Assignment Feature

EZRouting connects with any student information system (SIS), saving school districts time by eliminating tedious, time-consuming tasks such as manually entering student data into spreadsheets or databases. Once you have your EZRouting software integrated with your SIS, you can allow EZRouting’s automated features to do their thing. This includes the automated student assignment feature, which eliminates the need for manual data entry and helps streamline the process of assigning students to their respective schools and stops. This can save hundreds of hours of time for transportation directors, leaving more time for all the other things the job entails.

Detailed Route Planning

Another awesome feature offered by EZRouting is detailed route planning capabilities that allow school districts to easily manage bus routes and make changes quickly. EZRouting’s routing engine can plan routes faster than traditional methods, helping to save time and money by reducing the number of buses needed for a given route. This feature alone has the ability to save districts thousands of dollars per year.

Parent App

Finally, all districts using EZRouting should be sure to take advantage of our concurrent parent app. Through the app, mobile notifications help keep parents informed of their child’s route status by providing up-to-date information on the bus location, estimated arrival times at schools and stops, and other important notifications. Districts can even use the app to send out notifications regarding trip lateness, delay, cancellation, and more. There is also the option (if permitted by the district) for parents to view bus routes live. This is a great feature that comes free of charge with your EZRouting software.

In conclusion, EZRouting is a comprehensive solution that helps school districts save time, money, and energy, all while routing students to their assigned schools. EZRouting’s incredible features, such as automated student assignment, detailed route planning, and the parent app, making it an invaluable asset for any school district. Be sure to utilize all these features to make the most of your trip planning with your EZRouting software.
