BusRight announced today that it has raised more than $30 million in its latest funding round led by Volition Capital.

This funding will enable BusRight to continue investing in its technology and software platform, launching new products and services to meet the unique needs of the nation’s student transportation operators. Platform enhancements include a 24/7 AI-powered student transportation agent, precision hyper-local mapping intelligence, and NFC-based child safety features.

Founded by CEO Keith Corso and Chief Product Officer (CPO) Phillip Dunn, BusRight ensures every student can safely and reliably access their education. The company’s technology addresses transportation leaders’ most critical challenges: a school bus driver shortage, overwhelming parent demands, and increasing route complexity. The platform brings driver navigation, routing, student ridership visibility, parent communication, and live GPS tracking into one unified platform. As a result, transportation leaders can build bus routes in 60 seconds, track buses in real-time, and communicate with parents in a single click.

The country’s $900 billion K-12 education system is enabled by 13,000 transportation leaders who transport more than 20 million students to and from school every day. BusRight said it knows that many school bus fleets start each morning short 15% to 30% of drivers, forcing last-minute route cancellations, triggering a flood of parent phone calls, missed pickups, and even more pressure on an already stretched driver workforce. In an industry underserved by technology, many bus drivers are still handed paper route sheets. Meanwhile, transportation leaders spend their days behind the wheel instead of leading and often work long days to keep buses running. BusRight is uniquely positioned to address these challenges.

"BusRight has saved us $989,000 in the first year,” said Gregory Mott, superintendent of schools for the Poughkeepsie City School District. “I can't think of another tool in the district that has had such a profound impact on student safety, while also strengthening the financial position of the school."

"Student transportation teams have been underrecognized and underinvested for far too long," said Corso. “We're proud to partner with Volition Capital, a team that shares the belief that transportation directors, routers, dispatchers, and drivers are the backbone of public education, and they deserve the recognition, investment, and support to match the significance of the work they do every single day."

“My experience in school systems showed me how rapidly education was changing and how urgently it needed better tools,” Dunn said, who previously served as CIO of the sixth-largest school district in the country. “BusRight exists to unlock public infrastructure with the same ease and impact we expect from modern consumer technology.”

In connection with this financing, Tomy Han, partner at Volition Capital, will join BusRight's Board of Directors.

"BusRight is building a category-defining platform in a market that is both massive and mission-critical," said Tomy Han, partner at Volition Capital. "The team has demonstrated exceptional execution, strong customer adoption, and a product that is deeply embedded in daily transportation operations. We're excited to partner with BusRight as they scale a durable, market-leading business."

BusRight is headquartered in New York, New York, and partners with public school districts across 36 U.S. states with nearly 1 million parents using its technology.
