Efficient, Flexible Routing Boosts Funding and Parent Trust

By bringing routing in-house and implementing Tyler’s Student Transportation software, the district unlocked millions in additional subsidy dollars while strengthening transparency, safety, and parent trust.

In this short video, district leaders share how modern routing technology helped them rethink bell times, maximize fleet usage, and align daily operations with Pennsylvania’s funding formula — delivering measurable financial and operational results.

With Tyler’s Student Transportation software and in-house routing, the district:

  • Increased state funding tied directly to smarter routing by maximizing ridership and bus miles in line with Pennsylvania’s subsidy model
  • Gained operational control and accountability after shifting routing from an outsourced contractor to the district’s internal routing team
  • Improved efficiency and fleet utilization, including multi-tier routes made possible by 15-minute bell time adjustments
  • Strengthened parent and community confidence through better communication, visibility, and a continued focus on student safety
