Transfinder Corporation recently announced two contracts, one with Madison County Schools in Mississippi and another with the Clarke County School District in Alabama.
Both districts will be equipped with the company's routing solution, Routefinder PLUS, which creates safe and efficient routes for student transportation.
Transfinder President and CEO Antonio Civitella welcomed both districts.
Madison County Schools is one of the fastest-growing and top-rated districts in the state, according to the release. With over 13,000 students across 23 schools, the district ranks as the fifth largest in Mississippi.
"We have been looking at ways to run a more efficient and modern operation, and after researching multiple avenues, we felt Transfinder would be the perfect partner," said Justin Mitchell, transportation director and warehouse director at Madison County Schools.
Per the district's request, the district contractor will switch from Versatrans to Transfinder technology, including Tripfinder for field trips, Infofinder for student routing information, and Viewfinder to monitor its operations.
"We are so happy to have Madison County Schools become part of the Transfinder family," Civitella said. "Large and small districts alike will benefit from having this powerful tool that has artificial intelligence optimization embedded in it. Because it is highly customizable, districts like Madison County Schools can tailor their experience to their individual needs."
On any given day, the Clarke County School District's transportation department transports 2,237 students on 58 buses. These buses cover 1,924 miles daily, equaling around 700,000 miles a year.
"The Clarke County Board of Education chose Transfinder routing software to enhance route safety and reliability while also increasing the efficiency of our bus operations," said Richard Brown, transportation supervisor for the district. "We are utilizing technology daily to improve our services and strive to shorten the length of time that students are on the bus. We have chosen Transfinder because we believe it is the best bus routing software company available."
In addition to PLUS, Clarke County will use Tripfinder for field trips and Viewfinder.
