Ewing Marion Kauffman School Picks Transfinder
Located in Kansas City, the Ewing Marion Kauffman School is a free public charter school serving middle and high school students on its three-school campus.
In addition to Routefinder PLUS, the school purchased additional Transfinder solutions, such as Transfinder Hardware, Wayfinder, parent app Stopfinder, and Viewfinder.
Hoover City Schools Turns to Transfinder
Located in Birmingham, Alabama, metropolitan area, Hoover City Schools has about 13,567 students attending 18 schools. According to a company release, the district selected Transfinder after a nine-month search.
In addition to Routefinder PLUS, Hoover City Schools purchased additional Transfinder solutions, such as the driver app Wayfinder, field trip planner Tripfinder, Infofinder i for student ridership information, and Viewfinder, which gives users a bird’s eye view of the district’s transportation operation.
“As a school system, we took nine months to evaluate several different options in school transportation,” said Dr. Brad Hayn, Hoover City’s director of transportation. “We supplied each company we met with a list of needs and wants when it came to a transportation partner for Hoover City Schools. Transfinder checked every box for us, and we are excited about what the future holds as we move forward as a partner with Transfinder.”
Dr. Hayn said the Transfinder and Hoover City teams have quickly built a relationship.
“Every step of the way, it has been about more than just being a customer,” he said. “Every person we have met and worked with from Transfinder has treated us as family, and they truly care about the success of Hoover City Schools.
