Accurate stop data is essential for:
- Reliable student assignment
- Efficient route planning and optimization
- Clear parent-facing transportation information
- Safe and consistent pickup and drop-off behavior
What You Can Do in the Stops Section
From the Stops section, you can:
- Create and edit stops
- View and manage stop locations on the map
- Assign stops to routes
- Assign students to stops
- Categorize and code stops
- Import, export, and batch edit stop data
How Stops Connect to Other Areas
Stops are tightly connected to other areas of EZRouting:
- Students: Determines where students are picked up and dropped off
- Routes: Defines the sequence of service locations
- Vehicles: Impacts timing, capacity, and safety considerations
- Parent Portal and BusQuest: Controls what families see
Maintaining accurate stop locations ensures downstream systems behave correctly.
