Board hears GPS/routing alternative for buses that could replace existing software at lower annual cost

Oct 16, 2026

The audit committee presented a bus-routing and GPS alternative (Unite GPS) that proposed $21,000 per year (no one-time fee) and could add GPS tracking, parent notifications, and routing replacement for existing Travera/Zonar contracts; trustees discussed ED Law 2-d compliance and installation timing.

The full story

Trustee Curzio updated the board on an audit-committee review of current routing software (Traversa plus Zonar) and a proposed alternative, Unite GPS. Curzio described historical Travera costs (a one-time implementation fee previously around $30,000 and roughly $10,000 per year) and said Unite GPS quoted approximately $21,000 per year with no upfront deployment fee. "That $21,000 per year works out to $15 per month per vehicle in our fleet," Curzio said, and trustees discussed ED Law 2-d compliance for student-location data access.
