Transportation supervisor outlines new routing software, parent app and bus camera plans
Summary
Transportation Supervisor Chris Peters updated the board on staffing pressures, a routing-software upgrade, a new parent app called My Ride, and steps to address illegal passing of stopped buses including implementation of stop-arm cameras and video recording access.
Transportation Supervisor Chris Peters presented an overview of the district's transportation operations and recent technology upgrades, telling the board the district is implementing a routing-software update and a parent-facing app called My Ride to improve communication.
Peters described staffing challenges for bus routes and noted the district is adding bus cameras and exploring stop-arm camera technology to address illegal passes of stopped school buses. He told the board that "recordings can be pulled as needed." Member Jason Haag asked for regular reports on illegal passes and requested information on how the new routing software will affect costs over time so the district can evaluate future investments. Peters agreed the district will dig into data to focus on efficiency.
