*Estimates based on actual Crosswalk K-12 transportation optimization outcomes. Savings vary by district size, geography, fleet utilization, contractor structure, and operational constraints. For exact numbers, we can perform a route study with your district’s specific constraints to provide accurate savings and value.
OUR NO-COST ROUTE STUDY IN 3 EASY STEPS
Send us your current routes
Your existing runs, bell times, and stop data and other data. Whatever format you keep it in.
All data handled securely.
Our routing experts analyze it
Experienced routers look at your real constraints and test whether the same coverage can be done with fewer buses.
You get an honest answer
We walk you through what we found. If your routes can be combined, we show you how and what you'll save. If not, you'll know your operation is already running efficiently.
These are the details our team weighs during the route study
Bell time windows
Whether tiers can be shifted or shared without breaking the school day.
Ride time limits
Keeping the youngest riders within a fair time on board, not just fewer buses on paper.
Bus and seat capacity
What your fleet can actually carry, including special needs and mixed loads.
Geography and roads
Turn restrictions, rail crossings, and stops that look close on a map but aren't.
Driver and yard reality
Where buses start the day and which drivers are available to run each tier.
Program and stop rules
The local commitments and board policies that a generic optimizer ignores.
A map can show a shorter route. But it can't tell you if a child ends up on the bus too long.
We bring custom route optimization with software and experts who solve constraints that are different for every district.
Same stops · one less bus to staff
The savings and the driver relief arrive together.
We look for runs that can be combined without cutting corners, saving mileage, fuel, and cost while easing the load on your drivers. In a shortage, that's the relief that matters most.
Software can suggest changes. Our routers check each change against your real students, bell times, and drivers, then walk you through what we found.
One Route Study. Two Potential Outcomes
There's room to save
We show you exactly where you can cover the same stops with fewer buses, and what it would take to get there. You decide whether and when to make the change. The savings are yours to keep.
Your routes are already tight
We tell you plainly that we didn't find meaningful room. That's not a wasted study. It's independent confirmation you can take to your board that your operation is running lean.
Find out what's in your routes. Before the shortage forces a cut.
A 15-minute call is all it takes to start.
*About the no-cost route study. For districts evaluating Crosswalk K-12, the route study is included as part of our evaluation process. Districts not considering a switch can engage our routing team for a paid consulting study. Both come with the same analysis, the same team, and a clear recommendation.
