Right now, it's more important than ever for your district to get every penny you can from government grants - and good bus routing software can help make it happen! Modern bus software suites offer a range of features, from routing to student tracking, which can help improve your school funding reports.
In some cases, your bus routing software can quickly pay for itself through cost-cutting and improved revenues!
How Bus Software Can Maximize Your Grants
1 - Precisely track student ridership
In most states, funding for bus systems depends on the number of riders. So it's critical to count those riders accurately! Bus routing software combined with ID-based student tracking systems allow you to gather precise information on who gets on and off the bus, every day.
Rather than relying on reports from drivers, you'll have hard data on your ridership.
2 - Help qualify for Medicaid reimbursements
As we recently discussed, Medicaid reimbursements are one of the most overlooked forms of state funding - and student tracking software can help ensure you qualify. If you have a student rider on an IEP who already collects Medicaid based on an existing condition, proper reporting of their rides can see hundreds of dollars in extra funding per student.
3 - Ensure accurate data
It's easy for humans to make mistakes when dealing with a lot of numbers, which is why it's better to rely on computers for data-tracking. When your student ridership, routes, costs, and other figures are being taken directly from a reliable database, there is far less chance of human error causing you to lose out on necessary funding.
4 - Easy reporting assistance
The best bus tracking software packages can even directly help you fill out state reports, with the reporting requirements already loaded into the software. Depending on your state and its requirements, you may be able to generate all the reports you need inside a single software suite - greatly cutting down the time and effort needed to create those reports.
