Get Routing Support for Summer and the New School Year

School districts gearing up for summer school and the 2024–25 academic year can get much-needed support from School Bus Logistics (SBL).

We understand the complexity involved in orchestrating safe, efficient, and cost-effective transportation systems. That’s why we offer both offsite and onsite support to get your students advanced to the next grade and assigned to new routes. We can provide several month’s help to get you set up for summer school and the new school year.  

Tailored Consulting Services

At SBL, we recognize that every district has its own set of challenges and objectives. That's why our consulting services are designed to be fully customizable to meet your specific needs. From bell-time studies to efficiency analyses, we offer a range of services aimed at optimizing your transportation system and minimizing costs.

  • Bell time studies: Adjusting school start times can have a significant impact on routing efficiency and costs. Our experts will analyze potential changes and their effects on your bottom line.

  • Efficiency studies: We'll evaluate driver feedback and operational data to ensure your routing costs are optimized and under control.

  • Route optimization: As student populations fluctuate, it's essential to evaluate and adjust routes for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Our team will assess ridership data to identify opportunities for combining stops and runs to reduce costs.

  • Redistricting and boundary analysis: Changes in attendance zones due to school closures or openings can directly impact transportation costs. We'll analyze student data and apply it to boundary scenarios for your best routes. 

  • Emergency-route planning: Our experts will work with your staff to identify potentially unsafe roads during inclement weather and develop emergency routes prioritizing student safety.

  • Alternative-transportation options: From shared services to hub stops, we offer consultations on alternative routing strategies to meet your district's needs.
