School Bus Logistics has released two new features to its cloud-based communication platform, RouteHub. 

In addition to bus service requests and ticketing features already in place, RouteHub now offers transportation forms and student incident reporting. The added features will allow districts increased visibility to information for better efficiencies and safer routing.

Transportation Forms

Within transportation forms, the system helps districts connect the dots and to expect:

• Simplified community communication.

• QR code on the website allows parents to make a bus stop change request and access proper forms.

• Access to add requests for multiple students or submit multiple types of forms for one student – including things such as daycare requests or address changes.

• Information stored all in one place, along with filtering options.

• Student search tool within forms to attach directly to an existing student.

Incident Reporting

The student incident reporting feature provides departments with an electronic record of their interactions with administration. Features include:

• Request video button.

• Easy student search.

• QR code for drivers to access a portal and submit an incident.

• Staff assignment when forwarding to schools.

"The goal of RouteHub has always been to provide tools for clarity and enhanced communication for districts," said Robert Jacobus, CEO & founder of School Bus Logistics. "The addition of transportation forms and incident reporting continues building on this goal while also providing additional communication opportunities for parents."

The company says RouteHub platform offers a simplified process that closes the loop faster on reporting, gets rid of hand-written paper trails from drivers, streamlines communication, and assists with accountability from any web-enabled device.

Last October, the company added a student behavior management feature to the solution.
