Headline: School transit turning to technology in safety push

From the story:

Transfinder started as a company helping to route the safest and most-efficient bus routes for school districts. It has expanded to oversee the bus fleets for 87 school districts in Illinois, serving more than 187,000 students.

“Today, it is not just routing that we do,” said Joe Messia, chief operating officer of the New York-based company. “We are a full system transportation department for school districts. We handle fleet maintenance. We cover from soup to nuts for school buses.”

The firm’s clients include Illini Bluffs School District 327 in Glasford and Oak Park and River Forest High School District 200.

Officials in District 200 are using the company’s fleet maintenance and inventory management solution Servicefinder to keep its fleet on the road.

“Districts that use Servicefinder are seeing less downtime and are saving money by not stockpiling parts,” said Transfinder President and CEO Antonio Civitella. “This powerful tool is playing a key role in helping districts have the safest transportation for their students.

“We built this solution because we believe safety begins in the garage.”

Transfinder COO Messia said that the firm finds the most efficient and safest routes for district buses to travel.

“We find ways to solve routes,” Messia said. “We see what streets students are allowed to cross and what streets students are not allowed to cross.”
