The district committee voted to move forward with renewals of the Transfinder routing software and the Transfinder GIS mapping service and confirmed continued use of the Zonar on‑bus tracking system.

Committee members said the Transfinder system routes buses and sets routes, while Zonar is the on‑bus system that provides tracking and camera functions. Staff described Transfinder as “the system we use to route the buses and sets the routes” and said Zonar is the tracking/camera system on the buses.

The discussion included parent feedback about the stop‑finder feature. A committee member said parents reported that the stop finder gave them useful information about when buses would arrive, though there were problems the first morning of school. One staff summary noted parents “very much enjoyed getting to the bus stops, knowing when their kids' bus was coming,” and that the stop‑finder did not work the morning of the first day but did work in the afternoon. The committee also heard that routine procedural issues at a school — a 35‑minute delayed dismissal — contributed to buses being late that morning and that the district’s routing schedule in the software itself was not the source of that delay.

After discussion, members moved to advance the Transfinder items (the three‑year Transfinder software renewal and the Transfinder GIS mapping renewal) for the committee’s approval process; the motion carried "all in favor." The transcript does not record a named mover or a roll‑call vote tally.

Next steps: the items were forwarded for processing and any final approvals required by district procurement; the committee did not specify further changes to the contracts during the meeting.
