Configuring Bus Routes

Our intuitive interface enables administrators to define daily bus routes right from the settings menu, including:

  • Name for each route

  • AM, PM or both

  • Pickup/dropoff locations

Routes can also be updated or removed as needed each term or year. Simply click Admin > Settings > Configuration > Bus Routes > Configure and add the schools your children are bussed to and the names of the routes and schools they serve:

Assigning Students to Routes

Individual student profiles now include dropdowns to assign that child to AM and PM bus routes. Assignments can be changed in real-time even up to the day of.

Simply navigate to the child's Profile tab and scroll down to the "AM Bus Route", "PM Bus Route", and "Drop off/Pick up School" section and make the appropriate selections for that child.

Printable Bus Rosters

With the click of a button, admins can produce PDF reports organized by route featuring:

  • Dated roster for chosen week

  • List of students assigned to each route

  • Signature lines for drivers to log student pickup/dropoff

Rosters auto-fill with assigned students each week, requiring no manual entry. They can be run weekly with fresh dates and student data.

Click Reports > Bus Run Roster > View Report, select the week and whether you want the morning or afternoon route, click Print View, and print it to your printer:

Simplify Student Busing

Whether you're managing special education transport, daily school shuttles or extracurricular activity buses, our route management and rostering tools remove the headache. We're here to answer any questions you may have!

Getting the Bus Run Roster report to show up:

The report is called Bus Run Roster and it's listed under the Roster category on the Reports page. It appears automatically once the site has at least one bus route saved. You don't need to turn on any customization.

Steps

  1. Log in to the site as an admin.

  2. Go to Admin → Org Settings and find the Bus Routes row.

  3. Click Configure, then Add Bus Route.

  4. Enter a route name, check AM, PM or both, and click Save. Repeat for each route the site uses.

  5. Refresh the browser, then open Reports. Bus Run Roster should now be under Roster.

  6. To get children onto the roster, open each child's profile and set the AM Bus Route and/or PM Bus Route field. A child with no route assigned won't appear on the report.
