Operational Impact
Kris needs to respond quickly to issues that may develop at any time, day, or night. Buses are used to transport students to nighttime football games, for example, and he loves the fact that he can easily pull up schedule information, bus locations and student information from his mobile device at any time. Recently, Austin encountered severe flood conditions while Kris was away from the office. Three schools were quickly evacuated, and the Superintendent was brought in to help. Kris was still able to help run the evacuation process from his phone, claiming “that was quite impressive.” | |
Kris’s decision to work with TripSpark to ensure that future technologies for Austin ISD would be able integrate seamlessly, has been the right decision. While they’re using TripSpark’s routing & scheduling software, VEO Now GPS and the WheresTheBus Parent App for now, Kris is planning to add exciting new products with new functionality. For example, On-board tablets and student ridership will track if students get on the wrong bus or get off at the wrong bus stop. | |
This was an important issue when Austin ISD went to RFP. In Kris’s opinion, moving towards a single-source solution would enable his operation to grow. And as his partner, we’ve been glad to be able to work with Austin ISD to help them achieve their mission of safe and reliable service. | |
