Create a Transportation Plan to Route a Student

Audience: Transportation admins and staff
Purpose: Define a student’s pickup and drop-off plan.

Steps

  1. Open the student record.
  2. Click on Transportation Plans in the left panel.
  3. Click Add New Plan.
  4. Complete the following fields:
    • Plan Name (e.g., “2025–2026 AM Route”)
    • Pickup Stop and Drop-off Stop
    • Effective Dates and Days of the Week
  5. Confirm AM/PM time rules:
    • AM plans end at 11:59 AM
    • PM plans start at 12:00 PM
  6. Click Save Plan.
  7. Review the new plan in the list.
  8. The student is not routed just because they have a transportation plan. Use the Search and Add Bus Schedule tool to complete the routing for the student.

Options

  • Only create transportation plans that can be fulfilled by the current routes: Only creates requests that can be fulfilled by current routes and apply to each of the possible stop options. When this box is checked, the system will only create a request for a student if their home address and school are already part of a bus route.
  • Create home stops if not exist: Creates new bus stops at the students’ primary address if that stop doesn’t exist already.

Tips

  • Always verify stop coordinates before assigning.
  • For alternating schedules, create separate plans per pattern.
