Why Salem City Chose EZRouting
When their routing contract came up for renewal, Director of Transportation Lewis Armistead evaluated several vendors. EZRouting stood out for its cloud-based platform, drag-and-drop interface, and responsive support team.
“Our previous routing application just didn’t work for us,” says Armistead. “It was hard to use and required so many inconsistent methods to create routes or add a student to a different bus.”
EZRouting gave the team a consistent, straightforward approach to every routing task. That difference mattered from day one.
What EZRouting Made Possible
Route building got faster. Staff could access the system remotely instead of being tied to an office. The support team responds quickly, often same-day. And EZRouting’s Parent Portal collected nearly 800 parent responses in its first year, giving the district a direct line to the community.
“I wish I started with EZRouting much sooner,” Armistead says. “By this time next year, all of our processes will be completely different and so much better.”
