Transfinder Corporation announced two new district users: Illini Bluffs District #327 in Illinois has selected Transfinder’s routing solution Routefinder PLUS, while Cleveland Metropolitan School District in Ohio selected Transfinder’s Tripfinder solution to manage its field trips.
Located in Glaston, Illini Bluffs transports 70% of its student body to one of three school buildings and covers 174,000 miles each year. In addition to PLUS, Illini Bluffs purchased the parent app Stopfinder and Viewfinder, which gives users a bird’s eye view of the district’s transportation operation.
Cleveland Metropolitan spans nearly 80 miles and serves 35,000 students attending more than 100 schools from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade.
Both Routefinder and Tripfinder have won industry awards.
Transfinder President and CEO Antonio Civitella welcomed both districts to the Transfinder family.
“We are so happy to have [these districts] as a client,” Civitella said. “Large and small districts alike benefit from having this powerful tool that has artificial intelligence optimization embedded in it. Because it is highly customizable, districts like [them] can tailor their experience to their individual needs.”
