Product Details

Overview

BusBoss is a K–12 school transportation management platform from Orbit Software for planning routes, assigning students to stops and runs, and supporting daily dispatch. Districts can model calendars, bell times, boundaries, walk distances, transfers, split-custody arrangements, special transportation needs, vehicles, and drivers in one operational database.

Optional components extend the routing foundation with optimization, GPS tracking, student boarding verification, driver navigation, parent information, and performance dashboards. Districts should document which BusBoss edition and add-ons are deployed, how SIS changes reach transportation, and which system is authoritative for addresses, eligibility, and route assignments.

Features
Routing and planning
  • Builds stops, runs, routes, calendars, boundaries, and student assignments using maps and district-defined eligibility and safety rules.
  • Supports scenario analysis and route changes as enrollment, bell times, programs, and service needs change.
Daily transportation operations
  • Supports dispatch, driver and vehicle assignment, substitutions, field trips, reports, and exception handling according to licensed modules.
  • Real-time functions depend on GPS, onboard hardware, mobile tools, and integrations.
Families, data, and governance
  • Can provide family-facing stop information, arrival estimates, notifications, or ridership visibility according to configuration.
  • Districts should govern SIS synchronization, address quality, special transportation data, permissions, retention, and emergency procedures.
