- 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.
