Purpose: Create, manage, and optimize transportation routes that connect students, stops, vehicles, and staff for daily operations.
Overview
The Routes section is where transportation plans come together. Routes define how students move between stops and schools using assigned vehicles and drivers.
In EZRouting, routes act as the operational layer that connects:
- Students and their eligibility
- Stops and pickup/drop-off locations
- Vehicles and drivers
- Trips, timing, and sequencing
Well-configured routes ensure efficient service, accurate reporting, and reliable parent-facing information.
What You Can Do in the Routes Section
From the Routes section, you can:
- Create and edit routes and trips
- Assign stops, students, vehicles, and drivers
- Optimize routes for distance, time, and capacity
- Adjust stop sequencing and timing
- Validate routes and resolve conflicts
- Monitor route status and readiness
How Routes Connect to Other Areas
- Routes rely on accurate data from across EZRouting:
- Students: Determines who is assigned and eligible
- Stops: Defines pickup and drop-off locations
- Vehicles and Staff: Controls capacity and availability
- Reports: Provides performance, ridership, and compliance insights
- Keeping upstream data accurate ensures routing behaves as expected.
Common Use Cases
- Building routes for a new school year
