What EZRouting Delivers
Established planning depth matters, and so does how quickly a district can put it to work. Here is what EZRouting delivers in the first school year and every one after.
- Live inside one school year. With some deployments going live in as little as 6 to 8 weeks (depending on district data readiness and staff participation), it’s possible to put the platform into daily use in the same year it was purchased.
- Configuration instead of change orders. Common district requirements are handled with built-in settings, so routine adjustments do not become scoped development work.
- Same-day changes handled the same day. Callouts, breakdowns, and weather-related closures and delays can be resolved in the live route, with no overnight batch or re-publish cycle required.
- Planning depth that carries the hard cases. Tiered bell schedules, shared vehicles, special-education runs, and mixed-grade loads are modeled in the platform rather than worked around.
- One predictable annual number. Pricing is modular and easy to understand. Unlimited users, county maps, and updates are included as standard.
- Direct student information system integration. Infinite Campus and other major SIS (student information systems) connect to EZRouting, so enrollment, address, and program updates reach routing without manual transfer.
- A short rollover between school years. Prior-year routes, stops, and student assignments carry forward into the new year, which keeps start-of-year setup to a small task.
The EZRouting Difference
The EZRouting difference begins with implementation. With deployment in as little as 6 to 8 weeks depending on district data readiness and staff participation, the platform can be put into daily use inside the same school year. Once EZRouting is live, callouts, breakdowns, weather delays and closures can be resolved directly in the live route, with no overnight batch and re-publish cycle required.
Cost and configuration follow the same pattern. Pricing is modular and easy to follow: a district selects the capabilities it runs and knows the cost of each before signing. Unlimited user accounts are standard, as is county mapping data, which is refreshed on an ongoing basis so new roads, addresses, and boundary changes reach routing without a separate map fee. Common district requirements are handled through built-in configuration, which keeps a routine adjustment from becoming a scoped development project.
The daily workload gets lighter as well. Portal and app self-service covers transportation requests (if permitted by the district), address updates, and delay alerts, which reduces call volume to the transportation office. Transportation plans keep each student’s assigned service in one record, so office staff and families work from the same information. Training and support are part of the subscription, so help continues after the rollout ends.
Districts Have Spoken
A sampling of what districts across the country say about EZRouting
From the time we started the onboarding process to the time we went live, the whole process just couldn't have been better. If we ever had a question or a request, the EZRouting services team always got back to us within an hour or less. They even developed new features in the software to support our specific needs.
We're able to send a quick message to parents telling them to expect delays on the bus, for instance, or what their child's bus information is, or the stop is moved. And as a return, we can see all the communication that we've had with the parents through our software.
EZRouting is by far the most powerful, easy-to-use, web-based software I've ever seen in my life... the speed of it is incredible and especially compared to what we're used to. My anxiety level has dropped since switching to Pathwise.
What Moving to EZRouting Looks Like
Districts moving to EZRouting may go live in as little as 6 to 8 weeks (depending on district data readiness and staff participation). Here is what the process covers:
- EZRouting helps districts to handle real-time route adjustments as conditions change, including driver availability, vehicle issues, and weather. Pathwise transportation experts provide onboarding support throughout the transition, and the cloud-based setup keeps the rollout straightforward.
- EZRouting connects with all major SIS platforms and includes a built-in parent portal and mobile app where families can access transportation information, submit transportation requests (if permitted by the district), and receive updates. EZRouting also provides testing sandboxes so districts can validate routes before anything is published.
- Prior to go-live, parent portal and app access is communicated to parents. The EZRouting team can provide templates for email messages and social media posts, along with helpful how-to guides you can share directly with families. The timing for this is set by your district based on what works best for you.
