School Bus Logistics (SBL) welcomes three new software data analysts to its team to provide districts with faster, more accurate support across every stage of routing.

The company has also added a new routing vendor, BusRight, to its repertoire.

Three New Data Analysts to Boost Routing Technical Support

The software data analyst is a newly created position to support SBL's routing team with dedicated data review, software setup, reporting, and operational readiness. The company said the role adds a focused layer of technical support to the services SBL already provides, giving districts more confidence that the data behind their routing is accurate, organized, and ready to work.

"We created this role because we wanted our routing team to have real support behind them," said Megan Snair, vice president of operations and services at School Bus Logistics. "These hires weren't just about adding people; we were looking for specific experience that would translate directly to better outcomes for our clients. CJ, Jake, and Valorie each bring that, and we're excited to show our clients what it will mean for them."

CJ Merrill

Merrill brings hands-on experience in data analysis and routing software support from her time at First Planning Solutions, where she worked directly with VersaTrans and Edulog. She has a background in software implementation and data management.

Jake Nulick

Nulick brings more than a decade of school transportation experience to the team, having worked as a bus driver, router, and operations supervisor before spending more than two years as a software support specialist at Tyler Technologies. There, he supported districts using Tyler Drive, Traversa, and the Versatrans suite.

Valorie Ashburn

Ashburn comes to SBL from Canal Winchester Local Schools, where she coordinated extracurricular transportation and managed student routing data, scheduling, and compliance reporting using Transfinder and related platforms.

Expanding Software Expertise With BusRight Certification

Alongside the new hires, SBL has expanded its software certification program to include BusRight, with team members across the organization pursuing certification. The addition builds on the team's existing expertise across today's leading routing platforms, including Traversa, Tyler Drive, Edulog, Transfinder, and BusRight, providing districts with platform-specific support from a team that already knows the software.
